[QUOTE="VegasMichael, post: 16802859, member: 105950"] You forgot to tally in the numbers for the Regal T-types. They had the same engine and turbo, just fewer bells and whistles. I never knew the GN/T-type were completely different from the IROC/Mustang. All these years I thought they were the same car! Oh, well. At least the GN/T-type are still exactly like the Corvette. So there's that. (Wise-ass response concluded!) To your point, the GN/T-type were definitely not as popular. One of the reasons was many didn't know about their capabilities, and how the introduction of the intercooler in '86 was a game changer. And how simple it was to really increase their output/performance. They thought it was just another version of Grandma's Regal. Fortunately, that's what my Dad thought when he co-signed for mine back in '87! Funny story: About two years later I went into the military and had my Dad take care of the car. I told him to drive it to work once or twice a week and it'll be fine until I get home on leave. While I was in boot camp he wrote me a letter and said, "Jesus H Christ that car is fast! What did you do to it??" LOL [/QUOTE]
