Prone..Probe?
I swear I have never seen a car like this (quite ugly) but it wanted to race me last night and I swear I raped it to no end. I think it was a ford probe or something. Looked like a mix between an rx7 and an escort of the late 80s. 4 car lengths by 30 mph lol

. The 2.5 GT probes were pretty damn quick. Chances are you raced the mass produced 4 banger version. Man, I must be old because I have never heard anyone claim that a probe was unique.

What did the gt's run?
Either way, it is very fun to race these cuz they look.. KINDA fast somewhat and i raped him ridiculously.

I have a friend with a late 80s GT probe, only thing done to it was a different BOV. I raced him with my 305 TPI when it was hurting very badly, only lost by a car or so. In stock form, they seem pretty quick, but once you get into it, they just keep getting smaller in the rear view...
