This kid at my college has a split bumper second gen, I think it's a 72'. It is very clean....nice paint, wheels, dual flowmaster system, it's a 350, I'm unsure of the mods, backed by a four speed. It sounds good, and he told one of my friends that he was fast and that his mods go on and on.
So last night, real late about 2 am, I see him on the road, chase him down, and he turns right onto a 2 lane road, I pull up next to him and drift by in 3rd at about 3500 rpm so he can hear the pipes, he looks over and knows its coming. He pulls up a bit and drops a gear and takes off a bit so I could see what he's got. Then he slowed down so I could get up next to him again, I was in 3rd, then he started to gun it, I let her loose, smoked him like turkey. I pulled about 4 lengths thru 3rd and at the top of 4th I had about 8 on him. The next light was red, we said what's up, and he said "yeah I don't have a fast motor in this car anymore, only 220 horse instead of 330" What a sore loser!! Then he did a burnout, guess he was trying to redeem himself, Another kill with the bored out L69!!!

its all about the 305 baby!

 

hell yeah 305s rule. That's a good kill. Those early 2nd gens weren't affected by the emissions laws yet. Your engine kicks *** dude.

great kill!!

 

Watch out for a light blue 76 with an 81 front end. He is fast and crazy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

 

we know ian, we know...

 

Good kill,

one thing springs to mind though, if the 72 looks and sounds good but doesn't run a fast motor, what is the kid doing racing, if it were mine i'd just cruise about enjoying a lovely old classic.

 

All show, no go, my car is a beater though, it doesn't look like it'll haul, it's not that bad, no primer or nothin. But it's definately a sleeper. Everybody thinks the older thirdgens can't run, a bunch of em' can't but the L69's w/3.73's can scoot a little if you know how to mod them.

I don't mind, it's my first second gen kill!!!!

And the car is really clean, seriously. It could probably place at a second gen show, no bs. If I were him I would just cruise it also.

 

many moons ago, i was given some good advice by a co worker relating to any racing,

"only race it if your prepaired to loose it"

for me at least, i think the second gen would be too nice for this!
