92 Z28 VS. 80 C10 ( Dad's hotrod) need some help.
Ok well I got a 92 z28 it has a vortec 350 with magnaflow duals. G92 rearend. full power. seats, windows etc. My Dad thinks his old truck is so cool
. He says it looks better and all that and it could smoke my car. well I want to know if I have a chance
1980 C10 shortbed. 355,th350 with shiftkit,headers,mild cam(dont know specs) B&M shifter and grant GT wheel. aftermarket gauges; aftermarket suspens. I might be forgeting something..it has a benchseat and no power options, 12 bolt rear, BUT its a one wheel peel. unsure of gears but Im betting somewhere between 2:73's thou 3:08's.

Judging from what I read I say you got him. And BTW, it's IMPOSSIBLE to have anything that's considered a "hot rod" if it's open-diffed.
You didn't mention heads so I'm guessing he has shitty stock heads also...

Sorry man, he has a Grant steering wheel, you're toast. 




It really depends on the heads and cam he's running.

Ok so he slapped a mild cam in it and thinks it's a hotrod.
I really don't think you'll lose based on the limited info you gave.
