my buddy keeps talking trash about how the car his grandma gave him is faster then my TPI305 Iroc and i keep telling him id beat him,i dont know how much, but it will beat him, well, im getting ready to fix the pump monday*sense i work at midas here in my hometown and we've been pretty busy* and he still thinx he's going to win, and he talks alot, but im confused as why he is so cocky...i mean does he really have any hope, am i looking at a major sleeper here or what?

My Car:
1987 Iroc-z 305TPI w/ 700R4
i don't know any of my tags because they were out when i bought the car...
My Buddy's
1994 Cadillac Sedan Deville
4.9L V8 FWD

 

according to wikipedia that engine in 94 had 200hp and 275 torque. Also just under 2 tons. Smoke him.

EDIT:
oops, what model deville?

 

there is a black kid locally that rides around in a 95 caddy(i think) and has quiet the big mouth also. it is also "pimped" out, my buddies 66 impala killed him and it was a joke, my buddy has a stock 350, edelbrock intake manifold, carb, and air filter, its got a 350 tranny and i mean my friend owned him(some pun intended)

 

lol! yeah, you have the right model clickclickvroom...so ill arrange it monday i thought i was rite but i didn't wanna rite a check i couldn't cash
so, good, ya'll gave me hope, thanx!
and its the 4 door sedan with the 4.9L v8
thanx again

EDIT: gave me a line of crap about how his fuel pump is going out now...i told him they don't give you reason, they just do it, so you should just race me! and he wouldn't do it

 

Okay, because the concours model (which was still a sedan) was 270 hp in 94.
But again, the 800 lbs more or so will also be a factor.
Even if it is the concours you'd probably still take him w/ a conservative estimate of 225hp on your part.
(I used 0-60 calculator which is purely hypothetical and won't give accurate 0-60s, but will give a decent way of comparing weight:hp ratios, and whether the extra horses make up for it).
EDIT: oops, jk you said the 4.9 didn't even notice concours was 4.6. Ironic that the smaller motor makes more hp.
You'll dominate him.

 

I really doubt if you'll win, you could but it'd be close, gearing, state of tune, and driver ability will come into play. If you can hookup you;ll have a better chance. Hope you can prove me wrong!Good luck...

 

i plan on it, ive completly rebuilt my 305 so its got just over 100 miles on it sense i went thru and did all new gaskets, then the pump went out but she's good to rock and roll, so ill let you guys know tomorrow, and its not a concours...but that is pretty ironic thanx for your input, ill take a pic out my rear hatch for ya tomorrow

 

That's what i like to hear! LOL...

 

Wow, didn't know you could post stuff like this...

I believe the 4.6 was the Northstar motor (not sure if they were around in 94 or not, but I want to say they were) and the 4.9 was the older model V8.

 

I did n't know either, some one should like edit that maybe??? Hint, hint...

 

well...i lined up next to him in town, he wasn't expecting me to be intown and leave at the same time he did...we have a strech of road that merges from 2 lanes to 1 on my side of the highway and theres about 100 feet of road on the right side before it merges, i lined up next to him on the right, i said on green we go, and i hit the gas hard enuff to where i didn't have alot of wheelspin*i did have a little, but i do know i need tires* and he had me up til about 50 ft. before we merge and i laid it down, by the time i was going 80 i had id say the full lengths on him....and then i get home, he lives about a half mile from me, he says that i cheated cuz i knew he would let me over, so i asked him if he wanted to go again and he said no...i hope that shuts him up for a while, thanx again for your info and help guys!

 

Well Congrats on your win, probably figured no sense losing twice in one day!

 

So you raced 50 feet then the road merged into one lane?

Thats what I hate about street racing, It's allways so damn lame


The 4.6 in the newer cars is sweet, when you take out of the 4000lb wrapper

 

it did but i was in front of him, and there was plenty of room to pass if he wanted to, or could... and i agree with u on that 4.6L and yes it was lame, and he does have an exscuse, but i know he didn't have a chance
and J91 thanx and i do believe you are right, no reason for getting beat twice

 

I know some guys in Cali, that run those 4.6's in their Sand Rails, very fast and very fun stuff. It is a hell of an engine!!!!
