I love me 1993 Probe GT, but my 1984 305 HO Trans Am rear wheel drive car just kills that stock 2.5L GT engine off the start. Of course, it gets <14 MPG versus my 20+ with the Probe. Oh well, it kind of makes sense now.

The only thing killed in here was my brain after reading that.89 PGT: Garrett t3, FMIC, MS, 460cc, 2.5"TBE, other stuff, in pieces
92 Eclipse, 93 Talon, 90 Talon I break parts.
91 Galant (705/2000) 'grocery getter'

As some one who has owned both, I agree my 305 was first off the line, same for the 350 corvette motor I swapped in. HOWEVER from a roll and from about 35mph+ my Probe will and does walk most rwd v8s, like a dog.I've Been Probed.Comment

I got a 96 Probe that gets about 20mpg too. I suggest a gentleman's wager that your TransAm would not beat my old Ford 2 1/2 liter v6.

That's OK if a RWD car is faster of the line, it just makes it more humiliating when the Probe catches up and passes them.Originally posted by rwo93pgt View Post
