if you cant walk on a 3rd gen fbody then park the car and drive something else. even a modded 3rd gen sucks. unless they did a nice motor swap.

only one way to find out.......if you lose, change your screen name, then come back here for advice. Maybe if you race him and he pushes that car too hard, it'll fall over and die.

Yea, I def beat one on the street with two of my friends in the car with me, probably 350lbs between the two of them. I even wasn't paying attention and he had a good second or two before I realized the ligth was green. It was just sad. Then some crazy old guy crossed like two or three lanes at once and almost ran me off the road, I had to gun it between him and the curb so he didn't side swipe me.

It must be an automatic...86 GT's came with 200 horsepower and they were the quickest you can buy for those years...86-93 0-60 in 6 seconds flat and 14.6 in the quarter...I can post the link if you like..

You think.....If it's a 305 TPI you can beat it...But if it's a 350....then your gonna get your *** handed to ya.

305's aren't that far behind a 5.0 and the 350's are faster...I've raced many of them when i had my 87 GT...I won some and l lost plenty especially to 350 Z28's.

The IrocZ's in the 3rd Gen had 305's in them.
