I knew someone several years ago who had an 86 SVO Stang w/ a 2.3 Turbo. It was decently quick too! With a straight pipe and a cone filter and 200,000 miles it ran mid 14s which is damn good for that era. I hear those Turbo 2.3s can run deep into the 13s and even 12s with nothing but bolt ones. I believe those were the some motor they put into the Thunderbird Turbo coupes...

Yes they did use that motor in the turbo coupe T-birds (my uncle has one), those turbo thunderchickens move for what they are, and handle rather well too. Only thing that was bad about them was that no intercooler was included in their setup.
