ORIGINAL: Draven

.... So I ask him about his car... He has a modded GNX. : ) 450 horse, 475 ft/lb of torque. He's never had it on a track, but with tires that can hook, he'd run a 10. Needless to say, I didn't challenge him. : )

GNX's are niiiice cars. theres one in my apt complex thats all beaten to death tho makes me sad. rust, sits sideways, just, bad shape.

now, back on subject-nice win.

sounds like that really WAS a fun kill, even though im sure i would have felt a little guilt too
depending on what kind of 351, and waht year it was though, you probably didnt kill anything that was too fast itself..

especially if it was a 73 with a 2v version of the 351,, i think they had like 170 horses or somthing.. almost disgraceful, but stil nice looking

my dad has a automatic 72 Q code, thats the 'normal' 351 4v, good for 266 instead of the 275 in the detuned boss 351 motor from the year before...

ive never gotten on it hard for an extended period of time, but they really arent all that fast, espcially for a car putting donw the same power (almost) and having much better technology..

sounds awesome though.

Yeah, I was thinking how older cars have less technolgy, more drag plus possibly throw in an automatic tranny with slippage and more overhead. It sure did sound and look healthy though. Also, those older cars weigh in a lot heavier. Either way, it's nice to run with somebody who is a V-8 equiped fan every once in a while!
