Demolished 2 Domestics

Ok, wait, hold on a minute. What kind of V8's do they have in Arkansas??? A 160 hp car is dusting a 305+ Camaro? and that's stock hp ratings. Ok, I'll be generous and give you 10 hp per mod, and you said all you have is an intake/exhaust setup, so you're car would, optimistically be netting you 180 hp. And also, you said you ran a 12.9 1000 ft. That would mean that you're close to a 14.9 second quarter mile. Which isn't SLOW by any means, but it's nothing like a newer muscle car runs. Stock 93 - 97 Camaro Z28 runs a 14.1. 98-2001 Camaro Z28 runs a 13.7. But then again, I just looked back at the list of cars you said you've killed and none of those are muscle cars, just trucks. haha, sorry for the misunderstanding. But still, if you come up against a V8 Camaro or Mustang expect a defeat, unless, like you stated, the motor blows up!

Hold on, you say you run a 12.9 at 1000ft ?
Well, altitude KILLS ET so you'd expectedly run FASTER at Sea Level.
Now, you ALSO say that you got your ass kicked by a WRX...
A WRX will run a 14.3ish AT SEA LEVEL!
And the WRX is a turbo car, which comes into play EVEN MORE at altitude!

So, how does a 12.9@1000ft car LOSE to a 14.3@sealevel car???
Yet still beat a mid-low 13 sec. Camaro?

I believe that this subaru ran a 13.7 on a 1000 ft strip not a full 1/4 mile like was said in the above quote. I think this is all just a big misunderstanding. Hope this cleared things up just a little.

yes a 1000ft dragstrip, sorry for not stating that earlier. and i know i will be beaten by a 93 plus camaro v8, but some of the body style before that (dont know year models for those) ive raced at the strip and have beaten, although those werent exactly in the greatest of mechanical condition, they werent falling apart either. i think a late 80s camaro v8 in perfect condition would be a really close one for me, id like to try wish i knew someone with one.

for comparison purposes, a new z28 on our 1000 ft strip will run about 12.1-12.0 and a del sol with a 75 shot will get 13.4-13.3.

Yeap, I know. Using a little math and a standard Microsoft Windows calculator I estimated his quarter based on his stated 1000ft to be a high 14 seconds. I think that an IROC-Z or equivalent Firebird would probably, like he said, be a close one. A newer F-body V8 will be a blow out.
