Fastest Stock Ford Probe

hey i'm new to this forum and i was runnin around downtown a few weeks ago with a couple buddies of mine racin around. there were a lot of newer very,very expensive cars down there but they kept being outperformed by a ford probe (not sure what year but ik GT). i'm really thinkin about getting a ford probe but i know little to nothing about them. i was just woundering what the fastest stock probe is like what year, model, etc... it's not that im a speed fiend but since im only 16 i want a car that starts out fast and i can keep upgrading till whenever it kills me. thanks : )

Oh and how would a 1999 ford taurus DOCH v6 24v (what i currently drive) hold up against a ford probe?

Just some advice, get a 95 or newer as they use the OBDII program in the electronic system. I am a new Probe owner and bought a 93 gt, I am having a common issue with the electronics and the transmission. The 93 94 Probes ran the old EECIV program and is obsoliete....... I had to buy equipment to be able to read my codes as the OBDII can be read by any garage with diagnostic equipment.
As I said I am a new Probe owner but I feel that soon I may be an expert on these older Probes...... not exactaly what I intended..

the probe gt with a 2.5L mannual trans. is a quick car and you would b able to eat mustangs with a v6 no problem up to a 98.......with the probe you can also drop the moter that is in the mazda mx6 wich will give it more balls for your buck then you could throw a cold air intake for about $75 for a even quicker probe

k thanks a lot guys. how much would a turbo help put into a 95-97 gt? and how much does it cost to buy a KLZE and get it installed? and how much would that help and does a KLZE and a KL03 take the same turbo?

You can usually figure on a 40-50 percent increase with a turbocharger, intercooler, and pump gas.

thanks so would a stock 92 gt with a 2.2L Turbo be quicker than a idk 96 v6 gt?

It may keep up, maybe slightly faster. Expect a 5.0 or 4.6 to eat you again.

k thanks so right now im pretty much torn lol i can't choose if would rather go with a 89-92 for the 2.2L Turbo or go with a newer model V6 24V and turbo it aftermarket but i hear they're a pain to put a turbo in.

Just depends what body style you like more is what it sounds like, yes the 2.2 is faster with its turbo but you could always put a klze in the 93 + probes which would bring you
around tye same numbers alone.
