I don't think you understood me 100% correctly. I hear what your saying though, makes a lot of sense.

 

I understood what you meant. It just that if you are going to play the game you can't play it with the caveat that if the technology is better you are disadvantaged. Racing is racing. There are plenty of first gen guys that would monkey stomp the LSX but they don't look at the disadvantages they just build a better mousetrap. I wasn't trying to bash on you I was just pointing out a flaw in the logic you used.

 

Doesn't count, though...your car is 22 years old, that automatically makes is slower! LOL

 

Your right, as the owner of a 1987 car I understand exactly what your saying. Most 4th gen LSX owners don't pout when I blow their doors off!


HAHA! I know, i'm old school!

 

They sure do when I do it! Sometimes you'd swear I just slapped their mother in the face in front of them.

 

I just saw an old video of a road test of the 69 Charger 500 with a Hemi. It ran 14.1 in the quarter. A hemi car that stock ran a 14. Technology does make a huge difference in the performance of a car. On slicks I'm sure the Charger would be a LOT faster in the quarter mile but in street trim, on the tires from the 60's, they really aren't that impressive. Just pointing out that some of the cars that are worshipped as great performers weren't all that impressive in stock trim and that technology makes a big difference.

 

[QUOTE=ARCTIC '00;11636698]Some of u slow guys really baffle me.......I don't remember being that much of an idiot when I was running 11's/12's........when I was 16.........


Wow Pony was right you are quite the moron. You don't know what the hell your talking about on the other thread yet you spew it out. I'm really slow a whole 2 tenths slower than you. Wow a 10.98 holy **** WOW thats phenominal. So you ran 11's when you were 16 and now your what 20 and got it all the way to a 10.98 I could pull out my predator and put the aggressive tune in and club you like a baby seal. I understand us Mustang guys are a big threat to you, i'm sure you would be much happier spewing your lies to the LT1 guys and having no one challenging you..well too bad we aren't going anywhere. Even a few mods have Mustangs. Adios

 

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!


This thread is going down hill. lol

 

You couldn't beat your meat and impress anyone. LOL!!! I'm sure your car has made a few LSx cars look retarded but you know as well as I do that there are plenty of technologically challenged cars that would beat your *** badly. BTW Mustangs are slow, just so you know.

 

haha!

 

I went 11's when I was 16 in a street car. Does that make me a moron too? It was in 1985 though. I'm just phuking with you in case you missed that.

 

I didn't go 11's til I was 18.

 

Ok, but you gotta look at tire technology also. The stock tires of the late 60's aren't even close to the stock tires of today. Yea, the Charger on slicks would be faster....but even on today's street tires it'd run a helluva lot better. There's a "factory" type race class for Hemi's, very limited in what mods they can make...and they're under 10's.

 

[QUOTE=Newskool Mach;11636898]First of all I was being sarcastic.

Second, pay attention to the sig....My GRAND NATIONAL runs' mid 9's...I have a video posted in my sig, and more vids to follow at your request. Simply, I WILL BLOW YOU AND YOUR MACH'S DOORS OFF.

Third, my LS1 is my daily driver. It is a bolt-on car that put down just slightly over 350rwhp, and with just a 100-shot has gone 10's. Now I don't think that's too bad at all. I tell you one thing, a Mach with just bolt-ons and a 100-shot ain't gone run nowhere near 10's in the 1/4! Now prove it if i'm wrong genius......

 

You suck! LOL. I was lucky my dad was an old school racer that knew how to make a car fly. My car was fast because my dad knew how. I just spent the money and payed attention. There was no street cars that could touch my car in my town and very few race cars. I liked it.

I know that but it put technology in perspective. Most think a Hemi car is fast but in reality when they were built they weren't that impressive in stock trim.

 

[QUOTE=ARCTIC '00;11636948]I'd reword that bolded part.

 

thats not from it being old, thats cuz its a FORD

Those old muscle cars were fast as hell...... IN THEIR DAY. they still hang with alot of stock sports cars out there now. just like when LS1 fbods came out they were crazy fast for bone stock. now theres a freakin Cadillac out there that will tear half of us apart like pink speeding ticket's. Compared to modern day, new cars are lighter, more powerful, definatly handle better, etc but apply a concept to developing technology kinda like inflation does with time and bingo. there all the same.

 

[QUOTE=ARCTIC '00;11636948]First I wouldn't call somebody an idiot when I'm just being sarcastic.

Second My Mach is a daily driver so why wouldn't I race yours? "I WILL BLOW YOU".....Umm no thanks. Have not seen a bolt on Mach run a 10 on a 100 shot so I won't comment.

Third I'm not gonna take anything away from your GN I happen to like those cars. My buddy has an 8 second one.

Pissing match is over on my side, we this one enough.

 

Damn another battle of the brands thread.
Most 2v cars suck. There are a few out there that run good but they are few and far in between. My guess is this guy is going to sell his car now. I've had that happen before, outrun somebody and then a for sale sign was in the window. Good ****.

 

The only reason the older cars are faster is because they have room to put bigger motors in the engine bay. But cars now are making big block power with little small blocks.

One thing I'd like to know is why does it seem every old (64-72) block you find seems to already been bored 0.030" over? Why was this such a popular thing back then?
