My 1978 with the TA 6.6 Pontiac engine was 220HP. It was peppy but not a beast. Around 15.1 in the quarter bone stock. If the stories I hear are correct a 1969 428 Cobra Jet Mustang, stock but with performance enhancing tires, would turn a 13.8. Faster but not that much faster.
The 6.6 Trans Am was a 180hp Oldsmobile engine.
The WS6 suspension on the Trans Am allowed it to handle/turn really well. Not sure if it had a brake upgrade worthy of note.
