Hummm, thats funny. Here's the list of V-8's I've beaten.



1. 5.0

2. Z71

3. Older Dodge Ram

4. 80's Z28

5. 76 GP SJ



You have to figure how low the horsepower was on the late 70's and 80's V-8's compared to todays V-8's. My friends 76 Grand Prix SJ has a 400ci in it. Its rated at 180-185hp. The car is in show quality shape, but I beat it, everytime we race.



So before talking ****, learn more about the V-8's of the late 70's, the 80's, and the early 90's. Go check the HP on a late 80's Mustank and get back to me.

HA! uh yeah. The word ANY was implied. ANY v-8 also includes all the high output v-8s as well as the shitty emission controlled v-8s of the 70's and 80's. And you should be proud you could beat trucks, I mean what do they run? a 16.5 at best? Talk to me when you kick some 300+ horsepower cars down the track.

I half expected it to be a Crotch Rocket in the picture. Nice Gen III firebird. Just the same to beat a lot of the v-8 world that thing better either be a TTA or a better engine then the stock 305/350.

We dropped an old 400 from a GTO in it. Its a very clean car. I like your WS6, my friend is in the Pontiac-Oakland club (biggest pontiac club in the US), you ought to think about joining.

I was on my Ducati and a cobra pulled up next to me revving his motor. I looked at it and it looked like cheese. When we took off though he didnt even peel out. I was doing a wheelie in first and he was right next to me, I clicked second and he was still there. we were even when we had to stop for the next light. i couldnt believe that a mustang kept up with me. He must have done something right.

Thanks for the compliment. I am already a member of Arizona F-Body, Colorado F-Body, Colorado Muscle, and Las Vegas F-Body. Then hopefully soon something down in florida. But I will keep that club in mind for sure. I have seen footage from some of the car shows.

As for the Cobra, a mutual friend of a friend has a 2003 SVT in the 10's up here on spray and a new pulley for the stock charger. They can be fast.
