Irocs vs 3.1

I have beat 2 irocs with my 3.1 from a roll. But from a dead stop i got beat sadly yesterday. Anyone else have this kinda luck? and what about the v6 makes it fast from a roll but not from a stop?

From a roll? they didn't know you wear even trying to race them. Sorry to tell you but, you obviously have no clue how foolish you sound making that claim.

Sorry about the title guys, when i posted it it went to page cannot be displayed so i didnt think it posted it and typed a whole new one. And when i tryed to change it the subject wouldnt chance. And as of your 2.8 Im soo happy that your 2.8 is sooo fast, i mean i bet it could beat my 86 iroc with a 350. 2.8's are king and so are you, dont kid yourself my 3.1 is a fun car because its a v6. If i wanted to race people i could run the 350, But its no fun, I just like to prove them little ricers with I4 and V6 engines how ***** they are. So when you beat a real car with your 2.8 let me know because your 2.8 is king!! :hail:

Also 2.8 I hate to tell you but any smart person would know that the driver and the condition of the engine is just as important as how much hp. So I dont know where your getting your info about cars, But if a Z06 corvette is in very bad condition and is driven by someone who cant drive worth a crap that 405 hp aint gonna mean nothin, cuz my 3.1 would eat it up. So think about what your saying before you talk cuz you might embarrase yourself

I don't think so Elvis.

This guy is clueless but fun to have around.

And no my 2.8 is not king, my 60 in 2 seconds Vette would be the one to hold that title- but thank you anyway.

Whats so funny about a demon carberator, im glad yall find that funny. whats funny is the guy that built my car for me has built drag cars and runs 8's and 9's over here in GA all the time. So yall are small time comapared to who built my car. So why dont you just save it, its too bad that yall dont have a better life than just arguing on boards and working on a slow *** 2.8 v6. Get a girlfriend go to the movies do something.

But to end the reason i had someone build my car is because i dont have the time, and/or the tools needed so i had a close friend go ahead and do it for me.

O.k. partner I'm samll time and you've shot your mouth off one to many time to the wrong guy. here's a pic of my Vette that you can shove up your......

Your Little 3.1 is not going to beat an Iroc- and laughingly your monster 355 Demon would be in tears next to my Vette (I EAT VIPERS FOR LUNCH IN THIS CAR- 10.8sec 1/4 on lowprofile tires setup for Roadracing)

Thank you.

Rusty from Georgia needed to be set straight on his big fish story, There is alot of fast cars out there and the internet is not the place for an unexperienced person to brag. Let this be a small time learning experience for you.

Let me reiterate something I wrote about a year ago-

These little 60*V6 motors are not known for massive power and never will be, so don't focus on there drag race qualities- focus on where they shine, in cornering. We have on of the best potential handling production cars ever made because of their suspension engineering and chassis weight bais thanks to our lightweight motors.

Congrats on your vette, But i would like to know what you have in your engine to pull a 10.8. Because even if you modded the hell out of the stock 454 they put in those things you wouldnt be able to pull a 10.8. But if it does pull a 10.8 then good job. Im not a liar and i dont bull****, I beat 2 irocs from a roll, I dont know the condition of them and looked like 18-25 year olds driving them. For all I and you know that car could have been barely running, But when you call me a liar it makes me mad. But once again id like to hear the mods of your vette to make it run a 10.8.

Let me start with what is not modified about the car- Nothing. The block is a '64 Nascar prototype "Mysteryblock" 327 that spins 8500rpms with a cam grind that resembles the LT1 cam but mcuh hotter. Remeber, the LT1 cam didn't come out til the '70's this dates back to '64. Hot Rod magazine as done a # of articles on the GM "Mysteryblocks" over the years- they are mostly prototype crate motors that should have never left the GM warehouses ( but many did with the proper connections. This is one of them The block #'s can be traced to '64 but nothing futher- this is unhear of from any GM block with stamped #'s. The operating range of this motor is 3000-8500 rpms and puts down a dynoed 540RWHP n/a. I can put a $100 bill on the dash and you will not grab it in the first two gears. It has a Muncie R22 Rockcrusher 4-speed and full Spicer Rear rearend/halfshaft assembly. This car pulls 65-70mph in first gear alone!

Your Little 3.1 is not going to beat an Iroc
I dunno, there were some LG4/auto IROCs made...I had a good race with a 1984 z28 LG4/auto, where I turned out slightly ahead so maybe its not "unpossible", I've heard of some good races with L03 cars...but I think the V6s would be torn a new one...and I agree it was probably a base or lower model car that someone stuck IROC decals on...seems to be the thing to do

Yeh, LG4's aren't to much to brag about...the 150 horsepower beign mated to 3500 lbs or so w/ driver doesn't equal a fast car by any means. Better to beat an LO3, and plenty of us here have done that....(mods are needed). Rusty, what mods does ur 2.8L have? Just a little curious, didn't know if ur friend touched that or not too. And glad to hear u were just picking on Agood2.8, cause there are many car guru's here, some who build the lil' 60 degree, and others who have gone all out with everything from lil 6's to big block chevy's. I myself, do a lil ' of both, not to much on the six, lil' bit on the small block, and more recently tons of cessnas....damn this airport mechanic job.

Yea, Congrats on the vette 2.8. I have a 3.1 it has exhaust, but that is it. You might be right on the Iroc Decals I have no idea. But im just going for style in my 3.1 because as yall would know as well as me, a 400+ hp car is not a very great everyday car . If I drove my 350 all the time id have to fill up every other day! The only reason i posted that i beat 2 irocs cuz i was posting something else on the board and actidently posted it twice and i couldnt del this so I just figured id share it with yall. Im not a idiot that thinks that i can go around and beat perfect condition irocs with a 3.1

I remember when my friend got his thirdgen it was a real ugly LG4 auto burned oil and he had it with Iroc decals fooled me. He kept on insisting that we race when we finally did I beat him by at least three car lengths he didn't care though that car was a bucket and I did have an open exhaust

What year were the Irocs? Correct me if I am wrong, couldn't you get the old LG4, and the TBI engines in the IROC? If so there is a chance the engine was beaten to death and he could have beat them.

There are what 125+ posts in the 305 TBI beat by a V-6 post.

I am going to try to argue with logic here. The LG4 came with between 145-165hp till its death, the L03 came with 170hp. If people are beating L03's in their V-6's then I am sure an LG4 is beatable as well. That is as longas the V-6 is tuned up, and the LG4 or L03 is pretty ragged out.

So I can see you beating an Iroc, or even a rebadged V-8 car. Its in no way a big deal. But if you had of said I beat a 305 TPI or 350 car then I would call BS on you. But you didn,t so I see your story as being believable.

i hate the kids with the 6 cylinders cause they think they are tough **** or something. my friend has KILLED.. ANIAHLATED.. DESTROYED.. 2 3.1 camaro's before. 86 trans am LG4. nothing special, but it shut the kids up. he was driving real slow and this red one was pasing him.. my friend let the kid get right up to his door before he hit it.. hit it then the 6 stopped pullin up on us.. 2 seconds later he was at the bumper and another second aftert that he went behind us got back in the lane. tried it again, same result. after that we drove 25mph all the way down this raod that is a 65mph speed zone.. then another blue camaro passed us one day because we don't drive around thinkin we're tough ****.. so we ****in BLEW by him.. waved him to come next to us, 40mph both nailed it and smoked him. so you kids shush up your faces you didn't beat no iroc with a 350tpi or 305tpi for that matter so don't even say **** like that.

Ok im glad that you beat some RS's. The point that im at, Is that a RS 3.1 2.8 or 5.0 or 5.7 Fbody cars are slow. I hate to tell you but now days most american cars that you would consider a sports car is at least in the 14's. If you have a iroc, unless you have a **** load of work done to it, then you dont have much more room to brag then i do. So lets just shut up about speed because they are both slow. If you are worried about speed, save your money and buy a LS1. I dont wanna hear no more about people bragging on how there irocs are fast.

Hey "AGOOD2.8",

When you said "Beat an Iroc in a 60*V6".... how about this? I blow away Irocs, Z-28s, TransAms, everything but a Turbo T/A in my V6/60. 140 horsepower 2.8 V6/60 in my 2,700 pound Pontiac Fiero. hehehe.

Well, now it's a 3.2 liter V6/60, so who knows what I can beat.. I'll let you know when I finally get it started.

3.1 crank polished and neutrally balanced.
Hypertectic 3.1 aluminum pistons with .040 overbore
Phase 2 CAM (ARI Racing) improves power from mid to upper RPMs. (kinda like the Crane Cams 2030, but slightly more powerful)
Headers, roller rockers, roller lifters, port and polished intake, 19 pound injectors, you name it! It's got it.

But I can't get it started...

I think I just need a new fuel pump.

So basically, these kids that you found are posers.

I've met plenty of v8-owning kids that are posers, too. They try to race me for no reason; meanwhile, they're in a clapped out POS v8 camaro that can barely get out of it's own way.

So, I'm not quite sure what your point is. And keep your racing to the track; if you have something to prove, race where it's legal and safe and you can get PROOF in the form of a timeslip.
