Quarter Mile Predictions

Just messing around with a friend of mine

he just got a 74' Gran Torino that isnt in the best of shape but runs fune

and i got my 90' cavalier Z24 3.1L

were guna race in the quarter mile track by our house for fun

all depends on the engine in the torino. if it has the windsor, then ur done. any other engine u would proly win.

i believe its the 351 but im not positive

and his car is heavy, and i dropped about 200 pounds off the stock weight of my car

even though you have a v6, its only making 140 horse and the torino will kill you. heck my 4 banger makes more horse power, lol. im watching starsky and hutch right now and just picture you racing that gran torino, lol

i understand that but ive raced other stock newer Z24's similar to your (idk if yours is stock or not) and ive killed them

and im not bragging sayin that i will win but the 88-90 cavalier Z24's have balls. ive never really drivin any cavalier newer thena 92'

and just to let you know the grand torino in starsky and hutch was sooped up and had like a 455 or something in it.

nowhere near the same car under the hood as to that im racing

i know but i still pictued it like that, lol

i still like my Z24 its a fun zippy little car and gets about 20 more miles to the gallon :biggrin:

The Cavalier runs what, a mid 16? My money is on one hell of an exciting race

Quarter Mile

Stock besides the fact that i put a glass pack on it

and i dropped about 200 ounds off of the stock weight

and that is it and i do believe it was 14.6 somethin

i ran it against my friend in his acura integra and i beat him by about a half a second

no offense but it sounds like a fish story to me

ok im tellin u thats wat i ran im not bragging or anything

if i was trying to brag id be telling about the monte carlo my dad built with a racing motor from our local track when we used to race, things pushin over 600 HP and is geared low so it hauls like a bitch off the line

i forgot what that ran in the 1/4 but it was fast

its not that your bragging, its more like your stretching the truth.

true true

but i realy did run that as my best time

befor i stripped down the weight i think i was running like high 15 to mid 16

well i guess its possible, cuz its like losing a fat guy in the back seat, lol

haha i know that feeling

me n my friend were racing his camaro that we droped in a rebuilt 405 and we had our friend in the back seat (roughly around 250 pounds) and we raced a gto one of the new ones with the 6L V8 and we had beat him a week earlier just messing around and we raced him with tubby in the back and he smoked us

idk if it was that alone that caused us to lose cuz im sure there were other factors but that sure didnt help lol

i was just talking to him too

and it dosent have the 351 it has a 302
