Pretty old school, Banks had a red 91-92 after the 85-90 body style car. Its pretty crazy to think people were modding TPI cars back in the 80s, they were always over shadowed by the 5.0 Mustangs.

Yea, that is pretty old. I tell allot of people but some don't wanna believe a stock bodied third gen can be so aerodynamic.

I believe they hit like 307mph in it therefore setting the record.

i've read before that the t/a's were pretty aerodynamic. it was some review in a magazine when the LS1's first came out.

Maybe the 91-92 Birds may be some what as aerodynamic as a 4th gen, but theres no one in hell a third gen Camaro is as aerodynamic as a 4th gen Camaro.
