How slow are 80's Chevys?

I have 2 different occasions racing 2 different chevy's with v8's from the 80's. I own a stock 99 integra 4 dr ls.

First off I am heading to my friends house at about 11 pm. Driving down the highway at about 75 when i look in the mirror and there is a camaro vert pulling up to be on my ass. I brake check him and then he pulls up next to me like he wants to race. At this point we were going down hill nad i decided that if we gonna race and i was gonna have any chance of beating him, this would be it. So i smash the gas and he does to and much to my surpise I pull on him. I almost shit. I keep pulling till ihit about 110 and then slow down. He followed me for a little while until we got to a uphill and he floored and pulled away from me easily. I just shrugged it off as a moron driver or he wasn't trying.

Until a few nights ago.....

I'm driving on the same road only I"m south bound at around 12 am. Again cruising at like 70-75 and a c4 pulls on to the high way and starts matching my speed. I look over and see it's an older guy and his wife. I think to my self "why the fuck not?" And i smash the gas as does he. Again I am blown away by the fact that I am actually pulling on him. As i near my exit he blows past me going up a hill again.

Now I"m not saying that's a kill because i dunno if they were racing, but if they were, it is totally sad. Anyone race any c4 vettes or camaros?

V-8s are fast as hell if theyre mantained. if you let them rust then they are large slow cars.

the 80's camaros were slow. the vette was not racing.

What the hell! Dang man now you can finally say you truely killed a v8!

Some V8s are fuck*ng slow.
Some V8s are ok.
Some V8S are fuck*ng fast.

You cannot generalize.
