Easy. Google it around if you like and you shall see.

i know of a sn95 5.0 5spd thats bone stock with DRs that ran a 13.9. thats a fast ass time for that car.
On the 0-60 and 1/4 mile list it lists Probe GT's as having 0-60 in about mid-high 7's and 1/4 mile in high 15's. About as fast as a V6 Fiero. That's not that bad I guess, but it lists the '88 Probe GT as being faster than the 90's ones.

I like Ford Probes. Everything but the drivetrain layout: I think they look awesome, usually when I see a Probe I think its a Fiero at first. If they were RWD or AWD I'd probably have 1 :P .

1st gen probe GTs were turbo and made 145 at the crank. 2nd gen GTs were n/a, had .3 liters more displacement and made 164 at the crank.

mine probably makes more like 175 at the crank, i have some mods. mine makes more at the wheels than 1st gen GTs made at the wheels

Wow, the GTI is surprising. thats pretty quick for a VW.

Your gonna have to show me that bone stock sn95 302 that ran 13.9 on drag radials bone stock.. that means my car runs 12s bone stock. A AMAZING driver with SLICKS can run like 14.5 on a 5.0 damn that thing makes like 200 HP and that sn95 chasis aint the lightest at all.

I have a 1994 Probe GT, manual trans, with a vibration problem my mechanic thinks is due to an engine mount. He has replaced some but cannot find a proper part for the right top (car's point of view) which is at the drive belt end of the engine. parts he has gotten supposed to be for that are wrong, Ford tells him they are out of production and they cannot supply. I have a Ford part number F32Z6038M which gets no response from search engines. I see some after market parts with small photos that resemble this, but have no way of knowing if they are correct. Can you direct me to a source?

Any chance it is common with a Mazda part?
Might be a good time to go snooping around a junk yard with a picture of your mount on your cell phone and check the Probes and Mazdas that you find.
