ok here's the question: I was just wonderin which car would be faster:
an 85' Monte Carlo SS with a ~200hp 305 H.O. and a 4.10 geared tranny or a 64 Impala SS with a 250 hp 350 (desent shape) and a 2 speed power glide tranny

the monte, it is a much lighter car, the 305 highoutput is a nice motor, it is great at high rpms

damn strait....i found out for myself and won 50 bucks too......

The Monte all the way. The weight ratio and transmission. What about foot-pound torque? Which is greater. That has more clout than HP. If you're running a 4:10 gear as well, that's not much of a highway gear. Do you get 2 miles to the gallon with that? ; )
