H/C/I 02 SS vs Solid Roller 67 SS!

He is at NO disadvantage with the 4 speed, if anything it's an advantage as you DO NOT TOUCH THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT. They went to about 130ish or a little more. The 67 turns more RPM's too and they have the same rear gear. So what were you talking about again?
The 67 owner has never drag raced a day in his life (well once, read on), he circle track races, so running from a roll isnt a big deal to him. He did take the 67 to the track once with the Tremec 3550 and it the trans broke on the line. That car is LEAP years ahead of any stock junk that couldnt run from a roll in the 60's, people didnt run from a roll back then because a majority of cars were slow and everything was overgeared. The 67 has big *** Baer Brakes and 17's, it's not exactly the run of the mill draged out first gen.
If you are gonna come in a thread bitchin, at least know what you are talking about first.

Great display of knowing nothing about a Solid Roller car. Turns more RPM than I can turn, geared almost perfectly, so I guess I miss the disadvantage.
BTW......We are good friends and raced for ourselves, not for you. I'm glad others enjoy watching it, but that was not the intent. We raced for the fun in it not for someone to disect the race into what we did wrong, were we could improve, who had an advantage. The only advantage I see is my car is FASTER!

However I'm suprised nobodies mentioned this yet, racing the '67 with a 4sp from a roll is just wrong. Number one, of course you're gonna pull him up top, he's not gonna run very fast as far as top speed goes. When you all let off and you had just started pulling him, your speedo said about 120 it looked like. Well that's right on point with an old school 4spd in a geared car. He's probably got gonna go more than 130ish max, and it's gonna take a lot longer to get there than your SS.
Plus, that's classic iron man, old school. You two should be running from a dig, tires or no. I wonder how many Camaro's, Chevelles, and Nova's of the day went around racing each other from a 40 mph roll. That's just wrong.
