Re: Iroc vs 3.1

I remember back in about 2003 I raced a 1992 z28 with my little ole 3.1l 1991 RS. I dusted him for 1/8 mile after that I was screwed. He blew by me.

But a turd 305 that had like what 165hp.. it will be a close one. Depends on driver.. tires... mechanicals. I'll bet on the 3.1l just because of the 3.23 gears itll have

Re: Iroc vs 3.1

I had a 92 305 tbi and an 85 2.8, both in mechanically sound shape at the same time, and they'd both hit 90mph at exactly the same spot on my old road.

this was back in 05-06

I'll tell you one thing for sure, one of you has nothing to lose and the other has everything to lose!
