what you think i could run?

I'm very close to getting my first F-body.
It's an 89 IROC-Z with the 350 and 4 speed automatic (obviously. no sticks for those beasts... ) It is all stock (right now.)

Anyone with a similar car run it in the 1/4? I'm curious what it will run stock. I plan on maybe new intake runners, cold air, cat back, headers, etc for later on down the road, but in it's current condition i want to know just how fast it is. can anyone help me out?

I don't know how you feel about IROC's but i love mine. It is mainly how you would feel driving one. Speed is easily on tap and the looks are agressive. Stock my car ran a 9.35 in the 1/8, sorry no 1/4 time.

low 14s with a perfect launch with no tirespin (like a 2.0 60ft). if you really suck at driving then i could see you hitting low 15s. it all depends on how you drive it. average is probably mid-high 14s.

Most track times I've seen for stock MAF cars have been in the high 14's to low 15's.

Low 14's for the L98's. Mid 14's with the 2.77's. (Both being in tune) They aren't slow. Their TQ is incredible.
