i had a 92 maro with a 305 with shortys, full exhaust, 3.73s, shift kit and a ratchet shifter, it ticked off a whoping 16.1 @ somthing like 85 miles an hour (granted with 200k on the clock) my v6 mustang vert with just exhaust/intake ran i think a 15.7 at 89 mph. its going to be a long race

 

145 hp out of a v8 is so depressing lol

 

lol, considering I have a 80's 4-banger that makes more power than that

 

Yeah, but you don't got the ****ty mpg's that the 145hp V8 has, do you?


At some point, 145hp was seriously 'hot ****'. lol.

 

No, it always sucked......my porsche made the most hp out of any 4 banger produced in 1983!!!!!!!!


Yah me!

 

85 mph in the 1/4? hahaha I swear I could miss 2 gears and still trap better than that hahaha.(off the spray)

 

^^^ HAHAHAHA that is pretty bad

 

yup, LO3 = fail hell i could probably get a higher trap towing it with my powerstroke

 

I knew those old school 305s sucked, but damn I really can't believe that a modded v8 trapped 85 mph, holy ****, that had to be embarassing.

 

Most n/a V8's from the early 80's sucked pretty bad. They were trying to meet ever tighter emissions regulations, and didn't know how to do it other than cripple the engine to burn less fuel. Less fuel = less emissions, but also less power.
