Since Motorweek has been on the air for so many years I E mailed them and asked them to send me a list of all the 3rd gen F body segments they did, they sent me back a list as well as a number to call to order vhs copies of the desired show. I 'm not sure what the cost is but in case anyone is interested here is the list...

Thanks Zeeder Buddy! I knew I had a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket I plan on getting several......

 

The '92 SLP Firehawk article is now on youtube. It was posted today.

 

Cool, thanks for posting

 

Love it.

 

Who has VHS anymore! Just saying.

 

This thread was started almost 17 years ago!

 

Even then i had no VHS's, just saying.

 

I know, I dredged up an old thread.
But when I searched for the motor week articles, this was the only reference I found and I figured a list of other third-gen articles was a good place for the info.

 

Here is another one, 1982 Z28 Vs mustang GT.

 

1983 comparison:

 

1985 Comparison - Mustang GT / IROC Z / Trans Am

 

I remember when those earlier white and gold Z28’s were everywhere on the streets. Still would love to own one.

Interesting that a 82 mustang that runs 15.93 in the 1/4 mile is the fastest new car in America in 1982. The Camaro runs a pathetic 16.22 in the 1/4 mile.

1982 really was a low point for the auto industry. But still fun to watch the videos. Interesting how he mentions Chevy was planning a fuel injected 5.7 for the next year but we did not see a 5.7 in a thirdgen until 1987.

 

Here is one more:

20th Anniversary 1989 T/A

 

The hawk test just hit all over FB yesterday, I had never seen it be for.

 

I still have some vhs!

 

I still have a bunch of those reviews on VHS.

 

Another, '91 convertible Firebird.

 

Motor Week just posted the video yesterday (or was it day before now).

 

Wow, hadn't seen that 85 comparison. So anybody here ever match that 14.7 with a stock ho car??

 

My friend had a brand new '82 Mustang GT (silver with a red vinyl interior) in high school, the car was loads of fun. The toughest part was keeping the *** end behind you as it got pretty squirrely on take off. My '82 Z28 (LG4) on the other hand couldn't get out of it's own way but man was it sexy!

 

The '82 LG4 is a slug. I know, I have one!!! But, I do remember my '82 Cross Fire was fairly potent back in '86. A friend of mine had an '84 GT and it seemed a lot more potent than the CFI for having only 10hp more and the same torque!!

 

I really think Ford was underrating the power on the mustangs in the early 80’s. You changed the air cleaner, exhaust, and rear gears and you could drop 2 full seconds in the quarter mile.

 

I seem to remember that 14.9's were common.

 

They were also 300-500lbs lighter than the F-car. I used to mod a bunch of those fox cars and it didn't take much to make them scoot. Almost to easy

 

Thanks for posting.

At the end of this vid the narrator indicates the future (1983) chevy will have the 5.7L - was this originally in the plan for '83 and if so, why the 4 year delay?

 

'92 Heritage edition prototype.

 

Came across another one...

 

39k for the Firehawk. How much was a Vette at the time? I can see why they didn't sell a lot but owning one would be nice for sure. Would of spanked the crap out of a lot of cars both domestic and abroad.

 

Very Cool!
