This car is like no other wow!!!
At first this car ran great, but then after we found out that the car was poorly taking car of with the previous owner it was already going downhill.
Had to get a new water pump for it then new injectors omg that was expensive then had to get the transmision rebuilt then the engine went out at 94,000 miles still have the car sitting in the garage wating to be fixed!!
This was my first car I had and is going to be the last car I have I don't care what it takes to keep this car running forever, but I'm gonna do it.
It's my life.
Pulled up at a red light to a white 98 mustang gt and on the other side of the mustang was a fiero ahahahah don't have to say much on that car, the light turned green I slapped sticked it and left them setting there and what was really funny the fiero beat the mustang lol.
There's nothing wrong with a fiero there great cars and even better with a v8 in them.
No nothing wrong with fieros, but no match for a conquest that's running well, wel not many cars are.
A Conquest is NOT as quick a Mustang GT. If you pulled away from it, it's because the driver of the GT backed off.
Oh, by the way, I owned an '89 Conquest from new until '95. Great car, but not as fast as the GT's or Camaro's back then, let alone the newer models.
Well as for the statement about the GT Mustang the GT should be GR as in Get Real, I own 6 Conquests and the slowest one I have will eat any stock GT of any year from a stand still or top end on the highway, I have owned a lot of mustangs they were great winter beaters, but for a performance vehicle they always were left wanting, its sad that a 4 cyl could beat the 5.0 but the faster SVO mustang is a way better car then the GT, and that's a 4 cyl turbocharged 2.3
But in the end a Conquest isn't just a great car it's a great expierence owning one if you ever need anythng for it contact me at
forcedairracing@yahoo.com, i have 2 garages full of spare parts at cheap prices
later and hold on to that quest!!!
You know, these Conquest are "Fast" and all, but "Get Real," how often do they actually run? I mean, everyone I know that's got one, drives it for about a month or so and something goes astronomically wrong with it so it sits. Then, they buy another one and a month or so later, they come back and hide the fact they got ripped off again, claim they have two parts cars, and say they're gonna make one great car that'll beat everything on the street. Now I'm a die hard Mustang fan, but I've always like the Conquest and came close to buying one. But as for them being faster then a Mustang, I really don't think they pose a threat. And for the Fiero that beat a Mustang, face it, the Mustang driver was laughing at both of you since you're both racing to the repair shop.
My uncle had a Pontiac Fiero, it was a great and fast little car, he never had a thing go wrong with it. And as for a Mustang, my friends nearly stock 1992 Acura Integra GS can whoop a mud hole in a Mustang, I have been there to see it. Now, a Cobra, yeah, that will beat him, easy, if its when the cars were still light weight, I have seen it for myself that even the Cobra isn't as "quick" as a GT. However, they handle a bit better, but that still isn't a matter, for the Integra beats both GT and Cobra in the twisties. And as for the StarQuests (Starion and Conquest, I'm sure someone has heard that), I'm going to have to say that Mustangs better watch out, because unless the driver is perfect in every way on launch (and I have yet to meet one here where I live, at least one that drives a Mustang) then the Mustang is toast, plain and simple. I give Ford major props for trying, but till the new ones came out, I have no respect for a car that I could beat on my mountain bike riding backward with my arms tied behind my back and my eyes covered.
Haaahahaha lol yeeeahh! you tell'em.
It's true. About 5 years ago, I raced a Conquest TSI in my then new '99 Mustang GT. Everything my car had, and all I saw was the Conquest's tail lights ahead of me. After talking to the Conquest owner, it was all stock with 90K miles. I have a deep respect for these rare little cars, but I still love my 'Stang. I am currently looking to buy an unmolested '88 or '89 Conquest or Starion.
Good luck!!! so is every starquest owner out there eventhough that is only about 5 thousand or so people.
87quest.

After owning numerous gt's and conquests i'll line 'em up at any time stock for stock the conqest is a beast even modded stangs get whooped up on. the yellow 88 I have has been running great since 88 when bought new the only two aftermarket items is a blow off valve and a turbo timer. I drive it daily with no problems and it run's 8.70s all day long consistantly. none of my stangs can do that well except the 79 with the 514 in it, but that's another post.
Alright lets be real I own a 95 mustang gt, a 87 Conquest TSi, and a 98 a cobra my quest and gt both run low 14's, but the gt is more forgiving and better running car and perfect run on perfect run you might as well forget about it we are talking 300+ lbs ft tq againt 200 the gt will walk if it grabs and if we are talking about the cobra well not even close the Quest is a great car, but it is not as quick in a stright line, but I love it its rare and unique and a great sports car.
Well the conquest comes with 230 ft lbs of torque stock in 87 but 88-89 it comes with more, so look up your facts before talking smack... :)
Well I have owned a 1987 Conquest TSI for a while now. It is a great car. never has a problem that you would not expect out of a 18 year old car. It is quick, but not fast. I also have a 2000 Camaro SS. Now that car is fast. I love my Quest, but it will not outrun a 5.0 V-8 Mustang or a 5.7 V-8 Camaro unless they have serious problems or a 16 year old student driver that misses shifts.
Sorry guys, no way any "conquest is going to outrun a mustang" If the conquests were such fast cars, they would still be around today, but they were very short lived due to their unpopularity. No import or rice burner can beat a mustang gt, but I will agree with you guys, the 96-98 mustang gts were lacking some power. But that is becuase they were cheaper cars than their competition. If they were a few thousand dollars more, than they would be faster.
A lot has to do with the driver also. It's easy to break traction in a Mustang and if you're not a good driver, you will do just that. We all love our cars and also think our car is the fastest thing on the road, but sometimes a reality check has to come into play. That said, most 4 cylinders (power adder or not) will not beat a Mustang if the person driving knows how to drive it. And let's face it, is the Conquest rare... or just unreliable? :)
