Stock specs can be googled, they were ok for their time not so much now.
Theres plenty of aftermarket parts to pick them up though.

My C4 is a 1984 and I use to run I-95 between North Carolina and Palm Beach Fl, and there is always a mustang on the road that wanted to fill their oats but my 84 always dominated the road and in order to put the tang to rest I very well would hit 115 mph I still have my car.

X2. No need to debate this one....the data has been out there for, oh....about 34 years or so?

Iirc the manual cars were supposedly faster. Idk if that is a fact though.
As for times. It does them lol. 0-100 is probably close to 1/4 mile time. They're not terribly fast like everyone said.

1/4 mile trap is about 90...so 100 is a bit longer than that.
Here is one source for the cars' stats when new....
WORLD CLASS '84
Apparently it takes 5 more seconds from 90 to 100.
It's a good thing that a little work makes a big difference on those cars.

Sounds about right. I can attest to the fact mine doesn't take 5 seconds from 90 to 100. The stock runners really were a joke I feel.
