Its a PIECE right now, but dont be suprised if it pulls along side one day and leaves hard on ya. Its a street car and I've seen the dyno sheet, over 600 lb-ft tq from 2500-5000 rpm over 500 lb ft tq the entire range. HP appoaches 600.

It will be painted though I like it looking "rough".

Its funny because a beater like that can smoke those cars, they didnt even stand a chance which is why they didnt even show the end of the races. why would you want to watch 12 seconds of a slow *** import getting smoked. Looked slow eh? You must of been watching from one of the ricers....

My buddy threw together the Vid after some terd with a 350 Z ribbed him on the appearance of the car. The Videos were filmed over the last couple of years when he had a 431 cube motor that was tame by comparison to what he has now.
He sent me the vid in email, I just figured a lot of you guys might like it considering we all had a least 1 beater in our posession at one point or another.

Next thing is that I am still trying to convince my other buddy to turbo his 75' ponitac he just got. It has 7.6:1 compression.

actually the car looked slow. it didnt come out of the hole hard and neither did any of the other cars. i could be wrong but im willing to bet that those races were closer than the editor of the video wanted to let on.

btw from Kansas City to you, 19 is more than 10.

I repeat, The old motor ran decent but not even close to the new motor. Search the video posts for olds big block and see the new engine video. It ran 1.6x 60' with the 431 cube, now its 469 cubes with big block chevy pistons and rods. It will handle 300 shot of n2o and run low 9's with the new combo. Some of the footage is extremely old when the car ran low 13's high 12's. Thats enough to romp 99% of all imports out there.

If the car that tree'd, 60'ed, and blew away the imports looked slow thats even more of a reason to claim "IMPORTS SUCK!".

Sorry bro but that driver in the STI did not launch very well, I'm not saying that it would of took it from the start but it would been a nice jump.

And so this guy beats a couple of slow imports and a neon and he's hot shi* now? please. if he's going to be all "baddass" I'd like to see him race the Chris's Evo.
