Actually in 1987 there was no ttype-it was called t and the GN motor/trans combo could be had in any Regal trim(even chromed out custom limited models). I have seen column shifted 87 Regals with the turbo motor combo. The dead giveaway is the hood to spot the real thing if it came from the factory as a turbo car..
There were even black turbo regals that WERE NOT Grand Nationals.
87 had a tad more power due to the tune-both the 86-87s cars were underated.

With almost 50% more power at the wheel, and at probably the same weight, that Z06 is going to get pulled on like that either way.
Stock means stock. Not stock with modifications, because then it's not stock. "Yeah it's stock with a big turbo, a donkey-dick cam, Jesus strapped to the engine block, and a damn jet engine. But other than that it's stock!"
