Ok guys i guess a kid in my grade got a nice black camaro in my school just want to know who you think will win i am thinking that it is him.

His car as far as i know is a stock with a 350.

My car:
3:73 posi
flowmaster
vette servo w/ high performance shift kit
all a/c and emisions off
open element

thanks

you might have a chance but I doubt it..

 

88, 350, stock=L98.

L98>L03.

but you're in luck

cause,

bolt on carb'd 350>L98

and that's the easiest way to do it my dude

 

It is really a 78 camaro! my friend got it confuessed and thinks that everything is stock. from what i know it isnt a z-28 or nothing just a camaro. It is also an auto.

You have the gearing and weight advantage, and many of those late '70's 350's were boat anchors.

I go with you.

 

This is what i found out with the 1978 camaros!

LM-1 350 hp160 @ 3800 tq 260 @ 2400
LM-1 350 hp170 @ 3800 tq 270 @ 2400
Z-28 350 hp175 @ 3800 tq 265 @ 2400
Z-28 350 hp185 @ 4000 tq 280 @ 2400

and i know its not a Z-28 so the rear end would have to be 2.41:1 or 3.08:1

SO it looks like he is at 160 or 170 horsepower with 260 or 270 pounds of torque with 38 years of running. He only paid 3,500 so it is also not in the best shape i think i might have him?

Ok i finally got to peak at the car since it broke down on him from school. It is a 1980 Z-28 it came with 190 hp and 280 torque. Now when i pulled over and seen it really quick it is run down what i seen it had a roll cage in it lol. It looked like he had exshaust with long tube headers from looking under the car. So i am hoping my buddy will get the righ info about the engine.
kevin

ps i dont think im gona win!

 

I talked to the kid alittle today he said the guy before him had a 396 motor and he has a 350 in it now and he has no clue about it. I dont know i think he would have me.
kevin

 

one way to find out just race him.

 

I agree. Sounds like the kid doesn't know what he is talking about. Run him and find out.

 

just race him either way a camaro will win lol no shame in losing to another f body.....cant think of another car id rather get beat by then another f body brother....

 

I hope this doesnt happen but for some reason im seeing a wreck in the future..... can this kid even drive?

 

He just past his test like a week ago i guess. Its not a stick it is an auto. It looks to be really run down but i dont know. He keeps having problems with it. The only reason i dont want to race is i hate to loose lol. Iv raced one car and lost and that was a viper lol just screwing around. But ill see if he ever gets it goin again last he said to me was the block might be cracked so i have no clue.
