BILL GREER/TIM MATHERLY
We invited Bill Greer to our 4V shootout because his trick '89 LX coupe is powered by a '98 Cobra 4V engine and a GM Powerglide transmission, which runs in the mid-10-second zone. Unfortunately, Greer had business commitments and could not make the drive north to Jersey for our track day.
MV Performance owner Tim Matherly was the man responsible for tuning Greer's ride and made the switch to a turbo from a supercharger (it was originally purchased with a Paxton Novi 2000, but was converted to an Innovative Turbo by MV Performance). Matherly volunteered to put his plans on hold for a few days so he could make the hike from Georgia to represent the Fox body and 4V crowd at the shootout.
Matherly hammered out a fine 10.401 at 125.89 mph during the opening run, but after witnessing Roxanne Shepard pull off a stellar 10.194 at 131.96 mph in her 2V GT, Matherly immediately turned up the wick with his trusty laptop computer. On his very next lap he ran a best-of-the-day 10.229 at 128.10 mph. Matherly elected to make one more pass (a 10.370 at 127.18 mph) before loading up and making the return trip to Georgia.
