I know i dont stand a chance but....How fast are they? I know since it's a 73 its got a smogger motor.. and all i know about the one at my school is that it has a 350 So about how badly do you think i'll lose?

thanks

 

what are you racing it with.....those are horrifically slow by the way....it wont take much to beat it

383

 

Yeah tose aren't too terribly fast. The slowest was the 75, with a burly 155 horse power! If you have a moderatly quick car you should be able to beat the vette. I think they ran in the mid fourteens at thier very best, not sure though.

 

horrificaly slow would be a v6 or 305 thirdgen

 

oh i forgot my car specs

its a 87 Iroc, Auto, 305, TPI, headers and before i ever race him a zz4 cam...

 

I wouldnt say that about a 5 speed 305 TPI.

 

oh yeah a 5 speed makes a car so much faster! ok.

 

You ***. The 5spd cars are lighter, the tranny uses less power, and a '91 TPI was rated at 230 or 240 hp something like that. That's good enough for a mid 14 second run on a good launch. That'll take down almost everything on the street. I'm not saying it's blindingly fast, but don't say it's slow until you know what you're talking about.

 

Uhh..... yeah, actually it does. Considering that the auto 305's got the peanut cam which only gave them 190 horse while the 305 5 speed got pretty much the same cam as the 350 and produced 10 less horsepower than the 350, or approximately 220-230 horse as opposed to 190. Not to mention that most 305 5 speeds had the G92 option which gave nice street gearing in the rear also.

Basically we are talking a STOCK difference of a at least second or so in E.t. Go do your homework before you say something stupid!

 

ATO Monkey, you replied before I did! Dang it, shouldv'e typed quicker.

Maybe we should give him a break considering that was his second post - LOL. I know I wasn't saying stuff like that on my first posts!

 

i bet youd find the 73 vette was about the same performance as a v6 third gen hehe. ugly

 

oh ya, whose this "iraqman" anyways? your lookin for trouble with that name buddy.

 

A cousin of the people I am being sent to humiliate!

Burnout

 

HEY HEY HEY LET NOT BE SO HARSH ON THE V6'S (me crying) WE TRY TO (tears comeing out of eyes)

 

badass bro, smite some for all us TGO guys.


hey nothing but love man, no hard feelings.....

 

i am in disagreeing with all you american capitilists!!


i bid u good day!

 

It's American. And I know who it is. Though it doesn't know that. It is a sissy *** little troublemaking bitch. It's mind is stunted from drug use. Hey, iraqman...

 

calm down people!! :lala:

 

Email address is
fastwagonbabyyeah@hotmail.com
I guess we know what it drives now. You are from an import site, aren't you? Is it Celica.net? I think it might be.

 

I am calm. I'm having fun. You can't let yourself get irritated. You just have to make the best of a bad situation. It MAY get a little nasty...you may wanna...

 

Iraqis are capitalists too, tough guy. Pick a new name.

 

By the way, I don't mean to post ***** or anything, but that email was on iraqman's profile. Maybe I spoke a little harsh up at the top with the cursing. I'm trying to stop doing that so much. But it did make me mad at first. See, if everyone can take this as a joke, they won't do it. They do it to **** you off, but if you take it as entertainment, you know they will stop. They don't want to entertain..."us". You know, the people that they are on the opposite side of. These types consider themselves nonconformists. Well, there seems to be alot of you nonconformists. You dress and talk alike and you listen to rap, r&b, and/or rap/rock. Conformists.

I do what I do. I am neither inspired or influenced by anyone. I am my own. It's people like the fake member above that are using so much prejudice. And trying to cause trouble. tisk tisk. I'm still laughing at you.

 

Thanks, Inwo. Do you maderators happen to know who that individual was just by them signing up to the board? I think I know who it is, but the reason I ask is because I am going to be setting up my own site in a few months. I need as much info as I can get. I pmed Brad, but I haven't gottem a reply yet. I must have said something wrong. Anyway, thanks again. Cheers.

 

ok the "hot chick" pic dried my eyes right up thanks i knew i could coun't on you guys to put a smile back on my face :lala:

 

Ha Ha !! Tit Bite!:hail:

 

Well to try and savalge this post....

In 73 there was two 350's. The 190hp or 250hp (L82) 350's. If you're swapping the cam before you race him you stand a very good chance at beating him.

 

Yeah...I saw that picture and I had to have it. You know they could actually make an "Owned!" picture where...well, I guess I shouldn't say.

Anyway. From what I can tell, engines got weaker and weaker until maybe 1980. So from that idea and the fact that a 76 vette has 185 hp...I would have to wager that the 73 is stronger. So I'm agreeing with iroc22.

 

Anomaly... PM me with what your gunna do with the ZZ4 cams, and other mods, problems, and whatnot you run in to when u install it the cam... i have a ZZ4 cam at home, and i cant wait for May when i get out of school and put it in! i also plan on gettin SR torquer heads...

 

Well, i know for a fact that the '73 Camaro Z28's L82 engines had 245hp, so i would imagine that the vette is probably about 240-260hp if its an L82... the other was an L48 (like the 350 in my Camaro) which had 190hp.

So you are either dealing with 190hp or 250hp.

 

In 1973 and 1974 the LS4 engine was still an option. This was a 454ci engine putting out around 270 horses. The majority of the 1973 and 1974 Vettes came with the 190 horse 350 so chances are that's what he's got.

Hey, instead of guessing hp numbers for the L82 why don't you just read my post above?

I know what you're thinking man, and thats just wrong!

 

Heeheehee. (ouch)

 

My '79 Vette has the 4 speed and an L48 350. 190hp. Pretty quick, but then again, I've never ridden in a 305 TPI car before.
