Previous best was 14.7 with a dying trans and high mileage engine

While it's not gonna run with a heads / cam LS1 car, Kasey's car certainly isn't stock and would likely surprise you on a dragstrip.

Turd gens are slow, but any V6 car just sucks.

Otay.
I am thinking, that a 3rd gen owner aptly pointed out, there is more to a car than a 1/4... so lets have a rust spot/faded paint contest as well.

I drive a 2nd gen with a 4th gen drivetrain...does that average out to a 3rd?
I like how the 4th gen drivers are the ones to talk the most crap

To be completely honest, I think my T/A handles quite well. The best handling car I have ever owned was an RX-7, I dont think any F-body could keep up with that thing stock to stock. How do you like them apples!

3rd gens DO handle better than 4th gens. And yes IRS is def king on the street handling wise. Wish i could get some power out of my 924 to match the handling and braking power. i still love me some solid axles tho!

DAMMMMNNN  ahha
But i need a little advice ok
so after like a week and 4 tanks of gas i found a
a 1989 L98 V8 with a 700r4 and full wire harness & computer out a camaro ....... price 600 
now the problem is that 4 other guys are eye balling it so i need be quick
now should i just get the motor and swap it in my car, and kick the v6 to the curb.
now i know i will have to go over this motor with a fine tooth comb as well as the trans and harness. but i know i need to get different motor mounts, springs, brakes, exhaust and basically turn it into a V8 bird. rockauto has alot of the parts i need but i was just wondering want you guys think. is it a good idea it's my first swap and my car has no rust or frame damage it's just a beaten bird lol.
so should i keep looking or had i found my golden egg ?

I've owned 4 third gen's and currently on my first fourth gen... 3rd gens handle rather well, and TBH I enjoyed driving my 86 T/A and my 89 Pro/Am more than my LS1. Sure, they are slow as hell, there's nothing to argue about that, but the ride quality and handling was very comforting.
