My first street race.

I was heading out to see my lady friend and I came across a kid, about my age (17), in a 240sx. He had his stereo up loud playing some high bass music. He got on in a little bit and so did I. We made it to the next light fairly uneventfully.

At the next light he launched it somewhat. Enough to chirp the tires. I matted it and pulled ahead by a bit. I only took it to about 60, so it may not seem like a real race to you all, but I had him the whole way. I backed off and gave him a bit of a wave, he seemed angry to be beaten by a rust bucket but I enjoyed it for my first street race.

notes: 77 chevy heavy 454ci inched out an early 90's 240sx, but only to 60.

nice, that's a hell of a lot of car for a 17 year old. be careful out there.

if it was a stock 240 I dont see why not good kill........

How many car lengths did you have him by? What kind of 454 do you have in your car? Original one? About how many hp?

I knew it, it's a Pickup truck with a 454...

Ha... torquey sumbitches.. not much else though. Still, good run. Stay safe.

I wonder if its heavy hmmmmmmmm.........

Anything built in the '70s by GM, Ford or Chrysler was heavy. Everything was mandatory 3500lbs+ or it didn't leave the factory. :lol:

:rofl: they even added ballast to the lighter models.

lol, like they even had to. i bet the 454ci engine alone weighs like a ton. :)

not carlengths, more like feet. and only one or two. it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or you win by a ...ok i won't go there. the 454 is rebuilt. it was done so about a year ago so it's pretty solid. not idea on the numbers. and yes the engine weighs at least a ton. :lol:

Hey hey hey now, not EVERYTHING was a tanker from those days. My SS has a stock curb wieght of 3310 pounds. Not bad at all for a product of the all steel car age.

Nice run man. Stay safe, have fun, don't run over any old ladies. :nono:

Thanks for all of the positive reinforcement. Here I was thinking I was going to get talked down to or some shit. If anyone tries to take on the BBC again I will be sure to let everyone know.

What kinda car is it in?

I've never heard of a Chevy Heavy, my bad, I only like to research fast cars.



So a truck with a car enginge vs a car with a truck engine. Sounds like one hell of a shoot out.

Haha, it was. Like the OK corral. It's basically a chevy c10(half ton, 2wd) but it's called a Heavy Half cause of the 454. And technically it is a truck with a truck engine, cause it has 2 bolt mains instead of 4 bolt.

intresting to know.....

Hmmm...learn somethin new every day.

^^^^^ thats why I watch the cooking network with my lady.....hehe

^^^^^ you and your stickers.........haha

are you referring to my profile? cuz thats bee there for awhile, i finally got a pic that uses it i guess... i have no stickers on my car

^^^^ then how do you tell what kind of car you have...........lol

Im just pull your leg.............you said you have no stickers on your car....so I said how do you tell what kind of car it is...........you know if your a ricer and theres no stickers on your car then they wouldnt know what it is........ahhhhh never mind........

Im debating whether or not to get some VTAK in it

^^^ you better not youll blow your motor..........lol

then they saw your car and slapped you

dude, it was a joke :screwy:
I know I just felt like talking about some of the cars GM made in the 70's.

I think they call it a quad-chalupa or something like that. :lol:

yeah its pretty retarded. the first 4 door coupe! wait.....

thats impossible

What next an SUV with sliding doors?!? oh wait... they did that too.

all right! my first street racing thread turned into a 3 pager. oh wait, half of this shit is about other people. no worries, long as everyone is having a good time.

no worries, my first kill was against a civic...hella fun, but at the same time i felt bad for him since i put bus lengths on him after 1st gear...
