Well my friend A.J. just bought a 92 RS with the 3.1, he says it's 5 speed. He told me today that he beat a 88 Z28 with the 350 TPI. Is he bull****ting me or could he really do it??? I think he's bull****ting me. What do u guys think

 

 

The fact that you have to ask that question, proves to me you know nothing about these cars and cars in general.

 

Well I just wanna prove to him that he IS BS'ing me, He insists that he did win

 

 

maybe the z28 was parked on the side of the road.........:sillylol:

 

there a guy in our little town with a 3.1 Cavalier. He has an exhaust and CAI, and I'm sure he could take a plain jane 350tpi.
He's actually pretty quick. There are alot of 5.7tpi DOGS out there as well. maybe he raced a dogged motor.

 

There is no way a new Cav with just exhaust and CAI can run mid 14s with a 5.7

 

Definitely BSing you. Or it wasn't a 350TPI and he honestly didn't know what he was talking about.

 

new cavailers are only 4 cyl, if the cavalier is a 3.1 V6, it is the older style.

 

i had a cav(93) that i did up and it did mid to high 15s (a90hp, same as the barretta quad 4).. i never could hang with any camaros though..specially the big boys(v8s)..

so he is bsing you/.

I'd give the cav the race if and only if....

A) the L98 was running on 6 pistons
B) the third gear was out on the tranny
C) his posi was slipping
D) one or both of his rear tires were flat
E) and he had a car load of 250 pound guys and 4 12" subs in the back

That being said...I feel sorry for that poor camaro. I could take it on my bicycle.

 

unless the 350 was running on 5 cylinders, had bad rings, and was parked on the side of the street, there is no way he beat him

 

i'VE SEEN SOME STRONG RUNNING z24 WITH 3.1 AND 2.8'S. aND THEN i'VE SEEN SOME REALLY ****TY 350'S THAT WOULD BE LUCKY TO HIT 16'S. sO IT'S ALL ON THE CONDITION OF THE MOTOR.

 

Is your friend sure it was an 88 Z-28 with a 350? Me thinks not unless it was an IROC. They didn't make any 88 Z-28's --only IROCS. Is he sure it had a 350? 305's look exactly the same. Did the guy pop the hood for him? Could have been a L03 just as easily as an L98.

Now here's my take -- ANY car could beat a 1988 Z28 as they did not exist!!!!

 

How did I miss that one?

 

if u keep on postin this **** ima flame ur *** agaIN DID I SAY THAT

 

 

uh lucky to hit 16s, so that means a 350 TPI running 17s!? holy christ, are you serious??? ive seen a 350 TPI run mid 15s, i beat it with my old RS (modded), that car ran like ****, for it to run 17s EVEN 16s would require it to be running on 6 cylinders! or maybe an elevation of about 7k feet on a stock 87 TPI 350 heh, so ur putting the best case scenario and considering its a perfect world, i doubt the best running 3.1 or 2.8 ran the worst running 350, the torque factor even with 6 cylinders would probably be more, not to mention the hp of 240 compared to 160 or whatever, thats 100hp more, a FULL SECOND.

 

Often times I find myself thinking email and messageboard at the same time. When crap like this is posted, I go to the bottom right and attempt to delete it. Dang thing always tells me to respond.

 

Anything can happen on the strizzity streets, as you all know. I mean, not to go off topic, but... Last night I had the best pizza I've had in a long time. LaNova in Buffalo. Any of you ever had it? Yea, it's some of the best pizza in the nation. Heck, they even have a website where they ship it nationally! I can't imagine a pizza could taste much better. Crispy pepperoni, not TOO much sauce, not too little either, and a delicious mix of cheese. Man...I can't wait to go there again! The problem is it's rather expensive, but it is worth every penny!

 

okay now i figured it out.

they raced in reverse, the 350 had taller gears so it topped out fast. and then those 2.** gears in the v6 allowed for more speed.

now who ever knew that the smaller gears in back were better???

 

i say lock this thread

 

I dont even know what to say about this thread.
