it's true, it's true!!! my buddy has a '92 Buick Roadmaster & it has the Chevy 350 & is RWD, be it TBI not TPI/LT-1. he's running 180hp in a 3600lb car & my Accorn has 154hp in it's 3300lb chassis. there is an underpass w/ U-turn outside my work property w/ a 1/4 mile stretch on the frontage road to merge onto the freeway. we lined up, 3rd friend honked 3x, fair launch on both of us. 1st & 2nd gear we are dead even, but i shift into 3rd sooner so i slowly pull, really a crawl, after 32 minutes & 24 secs of accelerating upto 62mph/100kmPH.
we made a lap around cuz other challenges awaited, like Accorn vs '99 Grand Am 2.4L AUTO - on that race the Pontiac pulls away, he's walking me after 2nd gear/30mph. my '95 Civic EX AUTO friend challenged a '92 Toyota 4x4 3.0L V6-5spd coworker. the Civic walks away after 40mph, the wager was loser was gonna have sticker put on car - Civic will get "4X4" decal on hood or truck will get "Powered by VTEC"in AZN letters on tailgate for a week.
