If the Grand National is stock it should be close. It also depends on the condition of the G/N.

A close win to the GN unless it's a GNX, in which case it would be a big margin.

Nah, just a regular GN. Hundred and change on it. Pretty well kept.

Should be a close one, but the GN should edge it out.

Wern't the '87 GN's the more powerful of the years? Even so, stock they were only good for low 14's right? I think the TA would have the advantage if they were both kept up well.
