LT1 Kill by a Third Gen
Okay now I havn't read this entire 3 page story now, but I have gone over page one. I have driven a freaky 305 3rd gen and let me tell you, its something I know I didn't believe. Only mods appeared to be headers, and a banged up catback. We did put a 4th gen rear on it with unknown gear ratio. But that car would eat the LT1s that run around this part of town. It was never taken to the track, sold it to some mexicans and I have no idea where it is now. So I can say that it is possible that 305 302eater's pulled that LT1 and as much as people doubt it I've done the same with a 305 as well.

Well I don't believe that we had a fully built 305 by any means. Even if we did it'd sound a good bit different than a 305 with full exhaust. This car sounded exactly like a 305 with a full exhaust, it performed like a beast though. I don't know what to tell you. I do know that we didn't do a damn thing to it other than throw the 4th gen rear in it. So I don't understand whats up your *** darrensls1. Give the ******* car some credit for pulling the LT1.

Them being lighter might be the whole stem of this myth. Not nearly the technological level of an ls1 suspension, just less weight and more balanced.Ls1s are noticeably bulkier. 305 302 Eater has a complete iroc suspension, a rarer optioned one with wonderbar and all, and the car is amazingly tight and firm, but I have never driven an ls1 with the ws6, so someone please give their opinion.

I've owned three 305's Two 84's with a rochester quadrajet and my 86 with TPI. Out of all those and all the mods I did on them (believe me it was a lot) none of them were worth crap. I'm not the only one saying this. Facts are facts. They just aren't fast and respond ok at best to mods.
My IROC will smoke an LT1, but thats only after I drop the LS1 in it.

That because all the third gens you owned were bad years to own for performance. You have to go at least 87 up... I would say 89 up for the serpintiene system.

I'm not knocking your car. No doubt I love the 3rd gens or I wouldn't have gotten 3 of them. But after all the money I sank into them I just never got the kind of performance out of them that you car is claiming to have.

Like I said, most people are talking against you because we've owned 3rd gens before 'upgrading'. I've owned 2 myself, one being an 88 305, and is worlds apart from my LT1. And on top of that I now have spray

That is beyond freaky. That jumps straight into the realm of "Ripleys believe it or not"

But freaky is not a car that traps high 80's to low 90's yet beats cars that trap 99+ on a regular basis. It takes at least an extra 70 rwhp (which is unaccounted for) to accomplish that feat.
