can we stop now with the who would win posts?!</font>
Why??
It is Tech when u really think about it, same for street racing posts. U are comparing the performance and mods(if u know the other cars mods) of 2 cars, and asking if u could possibly beat the other in 1 of the things Third Gens are best at, street racing.

Looking For:
87 IROC-Z28 350 TPI
The car I want.
84 TRANS AM 305 H.O.
Another car that would be OK to own while I still look for the IROC-Z!!
I think that the 82 vette was the slowest vette ever built had like 180hp with CFI ya you would KILL THAT VET

Yeah, the L82 was the most pathetic 350 motor that Chevy ever produced. You've got nothing to worry about.
Wouldn't be too hard to hop that motor up though, after all a carbed 350 is cheap and easy to get going stronger. He'll always be held back by weak heads and compression until he ditches the stock heads and/or digs into the engine a bit... I would think even w/ the stock crap heads and compression he could run pretty decently w/ a good cam/intake/exhaust combo though.
In the defense of the 82 Vette,it was not one of the slowest year Vettes made.The 53-55 6 cylinder,75 base 165hp 350,and 80's stinky 180hp 305 California Corvettes were much slower(17 1/2-18sec 1/4miles.)The L83 in the 82 Corvette was rated at
200hp and 285tq.
