Re: roadrunner

Let's keep it civil here. Like I said, arguing about different cars tested by different drivers under different conditions is pretty pointless. All performance measurements are approximations, not absolutes.

Re: roadrunner

and as for you pwman... i told you when i posted it that it was NOT to tell whos car is better you dipshit... my car was like that the way it came out you idiot not with all the work you had to put into your car. as i told you before i didn't want your approval and still don't.. i don't like mopars... you don' like buick or any other GM, nothing we say to each other is going to hange that. so if you don't mind until we line up and you beat me... you don't know what my cat'll do so don't tell me what my car is capable of... like i said earlier, words don't win races... :

and you have 3 cars and one has 375

LOL, so you couldn't agree more to keep it civil, yet you say all that crap in the next post. wow

As a matter of fact I like just about everything, be it GM, MOPAR, FORD, even some Honda's. So once again you are WRONG

BTW I'm still waiting for you to fix the link to your so called proof.

What does that have to do with anything?
My truck will have 350 HP, when I finish building the engine. I wasn't even building it for HP, I'm going for torque. I may even build a stroker out of it, a 408 CID instead of 365.

The whole reason I bought the car was to make a slow car fast. The adventure of restoring a car better than it was originally.

Hey Honda's aren't bad for day to day transportation. But as far as modding them, yeah forget it.

What do you want to know specifically about the cyclone? I don't have any links of that off hand, but I'll do a search since you seem too lazy or computer illiterate to do.

LOL, I was just messin with ya.
Anyway, couldn't find much on the 67'. But the 68 GT cyclone was pretty quick, with the 428 CID rated at 335 HP yet is faster than the 396 Nova rated at 375. So apparently it was way underrated as the Nova is a compact car and the cyclone is full size.

Re: roadrunner

ok i was also wondering if you know anything about the weight of the car...? of how bout the weight of a Buick riv somewhere around 67,68,69 the time where they got the 430 cid engine. mainly about the riv bcause on mcc they state 1/4 et's for the riv but not for my car... so if i knew the weight of a riv i could get a better idea of what mine could do... and for the cyclone (i think it looks just like a fairlane but with a way sweter name!) me too i couldn't find much for the 67 either that's why i asked if you had anything... i'm not sure what a 68 looks like...? i think it's like the torino but i'm not sure.but anyways thanx for the info and if you find anything else let me know
