Well it takes around 30 secs just to get to 60 and it tops out around 80mph so i think you could possibly win. But its not about speed in that car. Its about cruzing and giving people the finger. Atleast thats what i do.

rofl. You need to wear a Sherlock holmes hat with a pipe and plaid jacket when cruising around in that thing.

Don't forget the moustache

I would rock that car man. That little thing is sweet and I am sure the ladies love it. Older people probably give you mad respect for it too. Classic man..classic

A- I personly hate chevys.
B- like i said its not about going fast in that car, its how you go there.

besides its all origonal as is now minus the paint which is a Audi 00 S4 color. SO its going to stay that way. Only mods power wise is upgraded to a new pointless ignition system (pain in the *** that was) and its going to get a small cam and a rebuild some time in the future (stock cam is really worn down after 52 years. And the rings are bad so it eats oil. But thats another $2k+ i will have to deal with later on in life when i can afford that.

Default Love 'em all.

No need to hate Chevys. I have a 64 Vette, 64 1/2 Mustang and a Harley. Believe me, it's all good.
Wouldn't mind adding a TF.

no power adders going on that car, just a rebuild sometime soon with mild cams to help it get out of its own way. Cause as of right now it cant do that. They ever could though even new.

As for the chevy comment, i hate them plain and simple.

I was joking about the nitrous but wouldn't it be funny to waste a ricer with that thing with your finger out the window in that thing.....
