I had no clue on whether they did or did not make an 02.

It has a Hurst shifter and a SuperChip, dunno if it is going to see that much power at the wheels. If the motor was absolutely fresh, 170-190 (depending on transmission) would be spot on. Odds are, an 88 is going to have more than a few hard miles on it, so I would expect less. Additionally, unless the car was modified after the fact by a previous owner, it is not going to have anything better than a 3.27 gear in it. Honestly, I have driven more than my fair share of Mustangs that are this car's splitting image (and more modified than that) and they are unimpressive. They might "feel" fast, but 15 second slips are not all that wonderful. Unless he has some serious modifications (heads, cam, intake, longtubes, MAF conversion, injectors, ect ect), he is not going to be taking any Cobras out any time soon.
But hey, on the street, anything can happen. It's easy to turn a 11 second Viper into a 14 second Honda bait snake (until the Viper hooks up that is).

i figure when he said hurts shifter he meant it was a manual, could b an auto hurst too i guess, and ya if it's an auto it's gonna be turning 15s .. o ya and my 50h should be able to suprise him then, since he clearly has 140 more rwhp in a slightly lighter car
