They were certainly no XY GT, but they were healthier than 149 kw's suggest because of the lack of weight.
IIRC they only weighed about 1450 kg's which sharpened them up a tad, and you only had to make them breathe to unleash the beast!
Drop em an inch or so, nice set of Simmons, nice package!

Yeah XD 5.8 manuals were running 15.8 second quarters, so they were the fastest Falcon since the
4V XB GT.
Flip the air cleaner lid upside down, extractors & dual exhausts would see low 15s or high 14s pretty easily, if you knew how to drive.
They were fast for their time.
