I have challenged my friend to a 1/4 mile race. He has a 1985 Monte Carlo SS, L69, 3.73's. I have a 90 T/A, LB9, auto, 2.73's. Both our cars are completely stock. I think he'll get me off the line but I think I'll end up taking it on the top end. Think so?

 

Na,you should take him the whole way.

 

He has no chance, unless hes modded quite a bit

 

He is running high 15's stock. You are most likely running 14.9-15.2. No contest

 

Im also expecting 14.9-15.2 for myself. Ive ridin in his car and know it can at least take me in the 60foot. My car bogs, then starts picking up.

 

14.9-15.2 with and LB9 and 2.73's? Hows that gonna happen? Ive had LB9 cars. With an auto and those gears, id expect high 15's at best.

 

my Lo3 went 15.8, and Im tellin ya, my LB9 feels alot faster. should be a real low 15

 

my LG4 auto went 16.0... his LB9 should be at least a half second quicker

 

Ill have a timeslip Saturday afternoon.

 

Please post your timeslip I'm interested in what time you'll run.

 

Me too......shooting for a 13.5

 

Montes also weigh a little bit more also.

 

You should win providing proper driving and launching, no weak granny 5 second shifting and easy launches.

The Monte makes about the same HP or a few less than you...its a few 100 lbs heaver and has even more Drivetrian loss than you because he has an auto. You should win this one easily.

The reason he gets you in the 60 is because he has 3.73's over your crap 2.73's......
