Uh, not really, i drove a friends car when he had a 305. Didnt seem much faster then the same car with a v6.

 

Hey..

I drove my little 2.8er with the MPFI on it, then my buddy's 91 RS with the 305 TBI, then a carbed 350.

All 4 speed autos.

My conclusion is his canr and mine have basically the same accelleration, the main diff is his does so with authority.

A 350 is just great, you feel like you could drive through a wall.

The hill is the ultimate judge of the engine

 

Who cares what it is.. an engine is an engine... LOL

But then again I think an LS1 is fast tho...

 

my car has had hundreds and hundreds of dollars in engine mods. and goes pretty sweet....
but it wouldnt touch my old carb. 83-Z
with a 350 w/just a hair under 400 H.P. but Like said above my 91 is a nicer car than my 83 so 305 for now and 350 later...

point being----> enjoy what ya got wether its 305 or 350

 

Thanks guys it looks like for the most part everyone is forget the past type of people and thats cool. My whole thing when i was looking for a new ride was 89+ good body, fairly low miles, NOv6's and i wanted ttops. The only thing i didnt get was the ttops but the bodies straight and it runs strong. I like it more than the bird comfort wise it seems more comfortable with speed and its probaly because its 6 years newer and sits lower, wider tires bigger motor etc. Plus it has a much more comfortable interior the leather seats might be trashed but so far no spring pokes to the ***! Got my alarm with keyless entry on today still figuring that out.

 

Just my opinion i would drop the 4in cowl idea and get the joengblood hood. it is sweet as hell and keeps the original body lines. like i said my opinion but otherwise sweet ride

 

No ttops isn't always bad... a lot leak, and if you are going to build some good torque, some had body twist (like my 84 Z... I had stress cracks on the roof!)

 

Glad to hear some positive notes on the Ravin exhaust, I really like the sound and performance of mine everybody thinks Flowmaster, Flowmaster, Flowmaster because there advertising has been so pushed into the afteramarket world and every Joe who doesn't know crap about cars thinks a flowmaster is like adding a turbo, there really are some other nice exhaust companies out there and I think the Ravin is a great choice alternative, I have had mine on for about two years.

As far as the rest of the BS going on in this post irocbuilder congrats for being a man and taking responsibility for your idiocy, But may I suggest until your reputation gets a makeover not talking about so many maybe's, (Like maybe it has a 350), get your facts and post real info not guesses because people here who were familiar with the past nonsense will jump all over you because you sound to wishy washy. Good luck its a great looking car.

 

<-point to thread?

 

to me i think the car looks very well and has alot of potential if i were you id put a 4inch cowl hood on it and a z28 high rise spoiler in the back, 2 inch drop and black outs in the rear and it would look killer.

 

agreed
