uh no joke. and doubt all you want. im still trying to convince myself, but i just walked a corvette..yes i admit it was an 84 model. but hey its still a corvette. i looked it up and im slacking 40 hp. so either the dude didnt know how to drive the manual or its daddys and he was scared to hurt it. either way he looked like a douch in front of his girl.

 

what model CL do you have?

 

slashing tires before the race is illegal.
jk.

congrats!

 

lol how bout you find him and me, you, and him line it up then?

 

Sounds like he wasn't getting on it, that car would burn u

 

older mustangs 5.0 miserably made 225 hp out of V8. That car would still smoke my H22 Prelude in a straight line. noob makes me

 

Maybe the Crappy crossfire injection those models of corvette had was doing what it does best, which is screwing up.

 

fox bodies? you would definitly smoke a 5.0 foxbody.

 

maybe he just didn't wanna waste gas by smoking you
cuz that car shoulda you

 

wtf is a fox body? older V8 stangs are no slouches, they can move. the V6 are the slow ones, the generation after.

 

sorry but older foxbody's the ones w/o fuel injection suck bawls I smoke my friend who has one constantly no traction at all he guns it and just starts sliding around and I'm gone when he finally hooks up

 

That doesn't mean the car your car is faster, that just means your friend sucks at driving

 

i'm more than sure I can smoke a 3.0CL in 5.0 Mustang, even with a burn out. 5 speed manual of course. what's in 84 corvette anyways? a gm 350 small block?

 

Yeah, they had 350's in them. Only generate 200 or so HP though according to the books, but those could have been understated.

 

bla bla bla. Any mustang that is v8 powered is gonna be a good runner unless it is filled with concrete there is a million of the f'ing things up here. They all out run all the tegs and jap stuff. They have never outrun me though. I did lose to a ram air firebird damn thing killed me by like 4 lengths come to find out it was runnin 11.9's and 12.0's. I hate those things............

 

you have internet right? google is a click away.
but since you're too lazy, they're the 80's early 90's mustangs. my dad had a white with blue stripes fox body 5.0. and when he drove my uncle's BB4 he said it was faster then his old fox body.

 

Dicorp your lude def would be able to take a 5.0, i dont see why you wouldnt be able to.

 

1985.5 mustang 5.0 210 hp 5 speed I win all the time

 

yeah i expected him to smoke me too. but from the sound if his engine he was getting on it pretty hard. but hey it was an older corvette, 84ish model. so it may just need a tuning after all these years. oh and dicorp as far as me being a noob, yeah ive been here a while. atleast ive heard of a fox body.

 

haha i promise i didnt. haha. but thanks. a win is a win. even if the guy didnt "get on it"...i wouldve just to say hey my corvette didnt get beat by a 3liter fancy honda

 

Those fox bodies ran high 14's low 15's stock (14.8-15.2). With a shitty driver, you can easily see why it can be seen as slow.

 

besides fox body mustangs, the vettes werent exactly fast in the 80's. I've seen this on the street and on the track. I cant count how many times I raced my old 91' accord EX against fox bodies, not ONE ever beat me. Not that I stomped them, but they were always in the rear view, or at the max along side me. Vettes amittedly are faster than our cars, but in the 70's-80's they were beatable. I beat a stingray in my accord, but he missed second, I could hear him grinding the gears along side me.

I raced(in the CL) an early 80's vette at the track twice, once lost to him and once beat him. However that night at the track, the fox bodies beat me, but they were not stock. No idea what they had in them, but they were easily beating me by 1-2sec. in the 1/4mi.

 

U race your stock CL with intake and a drop?

 

yeah, myxomatosis. i looked up corvettes i mean they had power, back then. but unless someone maintains that yearly, after about 20 years that power is gone. kinda crazy though that the power corvettes had in the eighties, little japanese cars have today...

 

The older Vettes had a lot more power. The C2s (63-67) came in small block and big blocks (up to 427 CI). The 327 small blocks you could get in 365 HP from the factory... if you do some basic engine work (bore, new cam, lifters) you can easily reach 400 HP.

 

yeah and i think that was the best model. it hadnt fallen into the classic mold that the corvette has been in for decades. but it was sad that the power dropped..if you progressed corvette power it would be well into the 800s. but they slacked off later on after the 67 model

 

dont want to start a new thread but how many o2 sensors are in a 1999 acura cl 3.0???

 

^ 2

 

haha that was relevant..haha just kidding pal

 

I would like to know this too....

 

nice edit ninja

 

Everythings power dropped. The gas crisis from the 70's happened and the govt started regulating what kind of power a car could make, that was also when smog equipment became mandatory. Look at the mustang, in the mid sixties to the early 70's the power was doing nothing but going up, the size of the cars got a little bigger too. Then all of a sudden, we have the mustang II, a mustang based on the ford pinto platform. It wasnt that they voluntarily started making underpowered engines, they had no choice. Course they rated horsepower differently in those days too.

 

kind of funny you ask, since we specifically talked about this before. Anywho, I raced the car once, several times in one night. It was for fun, not like I actually thought I was going to set a record or something. oh and it wasn't lowered at the time.

 

Haha, yeah. I'm too lazy to shorten or take out my sig and I keep forgeting to uncheck the box.. Just gotta get into the habit now that I'm back again.

 

84 vette- very detuned from the factor= still beat any CL

same goes for a Fox Body 5.0

HP isnt everything, these cars still make alot of torque.

 

torque really wont do you much when your car is made of steel and weighs as much as an elephant. but like i was saying there had to be something either wrong with the driver or the car cause i agree the corvette shouldve walked me. but it didnt. i was hoping to get a second shot to confirm that i beat him but he turned off. maybe ill see him again soon.

 

i hope your talking about an elephant when your talking about the CL. talk about an unpowered elephant.

 

I agree with you there, the CL just doesn't compare when it comes to torque, at the strip, I was running all season tires but they only chirped, no spin at all.

I wasn't an idiot, like many others that go through the water box, with street tires. I'll also say, the vette I raced(twice) wasn't in the best shape, I think they were still dialing it in, to say the least. The fox bodies romped me, wasn't even a race. I didnt want to race either of those cars, but I didnt really get a choice, since there were 8 staging lanes, very random.

A Honda Fit raced a Lotus Esprit. freakin great....

not meaning to jack the thread, just kinda of doing it by accident.

 

a Fit with a K swap = game over.

 

That's my freakin dream setup right now. I love the style of the Fit, then add a K-series = MFW right there.
