Anybody know the times on these two cars. Also would an 88 turboII thats in pretty good condition be hard to find for 4k or less?

i've read somewhere that they both run the 1/4 mile in 15.1 seconds but i think the 89-91 does it in 15.0 and the 87-88 does it in 15.3 . these may not be exact times but im pretty sure they are close .

You should be able to find a good 88 TII for that price. There are plenty around.

I DUNNO WHAT LI IS SMOKING!

Some things in that list are totally innacurate.. like a '94 touring running a 6.0 0-60 time!!! *tsk tsk tsk (it's supposed to be 4.9)

Or that MY year car would run a 8.6 / 16.7, when its really 7.6 / 16.0!! (STOCK)

'87-88 TII was 6.7 / 15.3

'89-91 TII was 6.5 / 15.1 (but i've heard as low as 6.3 from expert drivers)


I got the info from this site, very accurate

Although the 89 Turbo II got lighter rotors, higher compression, a better turbo and 18 MORE HP...they made it heavier! So performance differences isn't that much BETTER. I would figure the 89 Turbo II should have a BETTER high end, kill the 88 TII on the highway STOCK TO STOCK. The 88 will be way cheaper to buy but you GAIN so much more in a 89, better looks and a way nicer TURBO!
