well bowtie boys ,gut check time ,i have a 84 berly 305 automatic.4 bbl.he's got 318 4 bbl 4 -speed .by nature i 'am a mopar man ,but i love camaro's .bottom line this IS title 4 title can this 84 berly represent? i've got 48 hrs 2 d-cice!well, can this bowtie take him?

 

I would hoep if they are both stock the Camaro would win considering I think Valores are heavier.

 

So you either have an LG4 or an L69?

I'd say you can beat the dodge, I had a few 318 dodge cars from that era (mid 70's to mid eighties) and none of them were really anything that was remotely quick.

I also had a couple 305 camaros, while not fast by any means they were faster than the similar era dodge cars that i had with the 318.

 

Beat him big time.I have a friend here in town that has a valore.when my car was stock I would rape him by a few car lengths.have fun and let us know.

 

My turtle is faster than yours.

 

that lg4 700r4 3.08 geared berli will beat the valore, but just bearly...they are both like mid-high 16 second cars.

Um, its actually spelled VOLARE. And I wouldnt get too cocky or confident with that LG4. That 318 might give you a better run than you think. Go for it and see what happens.

 

"My turtle is faster than yours"
whatever......

 

4speed car huh? that is kinda unique, better be careful if it is a stick...

if it is one of those super awesome road runner Volares with the cool louvers, stripes, and spoiler you better watch out. those things with the Lean Burn are pretty fast, I think the stripes actually add like 50hp or something like that.

 

If both cars are in tune I say the Camaro takes it.

 

i have an 84' Z28 that i got to go 16.03 at 85.21mph with a 2.35 60ft 100% bone stock. it has a 700R-4 and a peg leg 3.23 rear. your Berlinetta should run something similar. i recommend manually shifting the auto around 4200/4300rpms as the factory shift points are way to low even for the LG4

 

I think that the volare is just too heavy, the camaro should win.

 

man i just looked the volare up, good grief it's ugly. 318's never have been a very strong motor even when compaired to a 305. it think you got this one.

 

just went and did a little research. the volare weighed approx. 3400lbs. with the v8 option, dry. so add in 50lbs. of fuel and average 175lbs. driver and you have a 3625lbs. race weight. the 318 makes a SCREAMING 145bhp@4000rpm and a stump pulling 245ftlbs.@1600rpms. assuming 18% drivetrain loss he's putting down a solid 118.9RWHP. this should net him (assuming perfect traction, and weather conditions) an 18.197 ET @probably in the neighborhood of 72-74mph.

now, knowing that my friends 84 berlinetta weighs in at a wopping 3400lbs. with him in it (car has a factory fiberglass hood and no a/c, and he's skinny). we'll add 100lbs. to that total weight to compensate for the minor weight reduction and skinny driver to have a full factory race weight of 3500lbs. (acceptable for a non gfx car?) the 1984 8.6:1 c/r lg4 made an astounding 150bhp @ 4000rpm and 240ftlbs. @ 1600rpms. again, assume 18% drivetrain loss and your at 123RWHP. with optimal traction and weather conditions, it's safe to assume the car would run a 17.783 at around 77mph.

if the cars are stock for stock and in both in good tune, the camaro will win, but only by about a car length...but it will be like pulling teeth watching this agonizingly slow race.

 

ahahah

typical 70's looking car IMO

 

I think you'll walk him... very... very... slowly.

I saw an '85 Z28 with an LG4, flowmaster and open element filter dyno at a whopping 130 rwhp, 230 rwtq with 200k on the clock

 

well, his wife said he couldn't do it ,thats his claim.probably a good thing though cuz, last nite when i went to put in the garage .i saw a bunch of oil on ground ,the rear seal let go 4 some reason.thnx 4 all your post
