Brian P Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 They probably made 20-30 cars a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I don't know if I would use the word 'fast' to describe a TGP. I would say they're fun to drive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90TGP Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 They can run anywhere between 15.3-16.3 stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 TGP's aren't that fast in the 1/4 mile...i know of a guy that has a Euro3.4 and his buddy has a TGP and when the cars were similarly modded they were about the same when they raced.

dbtk2 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 My STE went 14.968 @ 91.79 stock w/2.094 60'. But I do agree TGP's are not fast, they are quick I guess, but far from fast. And fun to drive is just opinion. My STE is lacking the fun to drive characteristic, my friends 5 speed 5.0 Mustang is more fun to drive IMO...

god910 Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 They probably made 20-30 cars a day. He said, 1/4 factory, not full factory. So maybe 5-7.5, somewhere around there. Sunshine was definetly fun to drive. And NOW FINALLY so is TestBed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not even the 5 speed really. Yeah, that does make it more fun, but I think my STE is more fun than my Calais, and the Calais is no slouch. I would enjoy the STE more if it were a 5 speed, but I'd still rather have an F body or something like that. I like hte RWD manuals a lot more due to the whole doughnut thing. I really enjoy driving my friends mustang through the parking lot, reving it to 6k and dumping the clutch while cranking the wheel, that makes it really fun to drive. But being a teenager, I guess its understandable. Maybe I'll grow out of that eventually, doubtful, but maybe. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Nah, I know what you mean. I have a Jeep CJ-5 that I swapped a chevy 350 into, and that is way more fun to drive than my TGP...scary if you go over 65 mph but fun. You wouldn't believe how fast the thing spins around when you goose it a little around a turn. The extremely short wheelbase makes it spin so easy that I have put it in 4WD in the rain.
