1979 Cutlass

[Atrain1]

The A/G bodies are great cars. I put a 455 in place of the 301 in my 80 Grand Am in 84. Have to put a pic up when I get home.

I still have one left and that is the 86-1/2 Grand Prix 2+2.

You should post that pic, I am very much into the a/g body's.

Pretty nice ride man! You need to get some gear in that sucker though! lol. I hate to say it, but 14.8 isn't that fast for a street car anymore buddy. It was, back in the 90's. With all these production pony cars running that or better from the factory, and minor boltons...even at our altitude, its a bit slow. Nice car though, cool to see something different for sure!

Oh and btw....i've got a set of tailights i'd be more than happy to show you! Better have that bottle heated up with the big jets brother!

Oh I got alot more than that, I only put up what I wanted people to know, if you have noticed I have not posted my stall speed and alot of other things someone would like to know before they race it, I can tell you this it will take a new gt500 with no problem by about 3 1/2 cars, Oh and I forgot to mention that 14.8 run was with a crappy start almost 3/4 of a second reaction time and I shifted into 3rd at 4500 instead of 6000 with the old set up. the Engine was built by bowers racing to handle alot of nos, now I have never used it and probably never will, I have not come across anything that has giving me a reason to. I dont know how it would do up against a new vette I have a rule of not racing corvettes, they are my favorate car and our American sports car, I have only raced one vette and broke my rule in my 12 sec Z28 and I felt really crappy after I wasted an American Icon.

Reaction time has zero affect on the time. What did you trap at? I know all about having a car that is faster than the tires and driver.

Irving is correct. Your slow reaction time has absolutely nothing to do with your slow ET lol. The time doesn't start until you break the beams, you could sit there for half a day and it wouldnt change your ET. What does the car trap and how much does it weigh with you in it? That will tell you how much power the car makes, and what it's capable of ET'ing with a clean pass, tire hook, and driver mod.

You beating a new GT500 by 3 1/2 cars does nothing for me bro. To be honest with you, a 12 second street car isn't all that fast either. And even if you put that 200 hit of spray on your car, and shaved two or two and a half seconds off of your ET....i'm confident i'd have you covered! I'm not even going to say my car is really all that fast, because in all reality, its not. There is always someone faster than you. I'm not a huge import fan, but I know plenty of them that would hand you, and me our asses. You need to have respect for other cars out there. Plenty of them are fast, and plenty of them would put bus lengths on you.

Tossing a Stang a beatin' isn't saying much at all.

[sneakerd]

Oh no.

I spent like $900 to turbo my 1990 Integra and got a 13.8 out of it. It weighed 2550 without me in it and dyno'd at 277 whp. I'm sure it was faster than I could drive it. I usually got a 14.00 - 14.2 with like a 2.6 second 60' time. I did trap at 106 mph though.

I was a crappy driver with bald Wal-mart tires and an open diff. Zero suspension mods.

I was just happy to beat all the stock Vettes at the time. Never did get to race a ZO6 though. This was back when they were a lot slower than they are now, maybe back in 2002 or 2003? That car sure was fun though. All the RWD guys that trapped around 106ish mph, were running 12.8.

That is the second guy that tried to tell me that so I guess if you sitt at the line for 10 seconds and then go it wont affect your time, I have been racing for a long time reaction time has everything to do with your time

First off you are ignorant if you think a true 12 second street car is not fast, and when did I say I had the fastest car on the planet, second I know there is always some one faster, third ricers wont even try it when they hear the car and feel it vibrating there recycled washer which kind of disappoints me I love eating rice. we wont even get on the 12 second Camaro that is only cause it smoked the tires half way down the track never could get it to hook up, and the only race I ever lost in it was to a 10 sec blazer that I started to catch up to, The only problem with that motor is I could not find a trans to take the HP, now that same set up is in my Cutlass and just blew up another transmission. Oh and since we are on the subjuct of other peoples cars I know a guy that has over 100k under the hood of his s10 has to press down on the brake with both feet at the 1000 foot and still runs a 9.60. And when I was talking vettes I was talking about the newer cars. And I think your full of crap if you are talking about taking 2 seconds off of my current time and saying that is not fast, now to guys running 8, 9 , 10, second cars that have money it is slow, I just dont remember turning this into a pissing contest but hey I am at the KBPI car show every year, just look for the pearl black cutlass with that everyone thinks is a Grand national which I guess is a slow car to on your scale. I am the type of guy I will believe it when I see it.

Guys that say things like your 12 second street car is not fast, and stuff like I put a turbo on my ricer and beat everything on the track, either 1 have never been on a track 2 think there car is fast cause it has stickers and a fart can and turbo, the last cute turbo ricer I raced that sounded like a pissed off squirrel wrx sti when I pulled 2 gear my car kicked sideways in front of his, he would not even look at me at the next light. And whats with the ricer flybye you have already been beat bad, a pinto could pass a car doing the speed limit.
