So today I was with my friend working on his car when one of his other friends shows up. He has a 77 Monte Carlo with a 350, flowmaster exhaust, and the stock 2 barrel carb. Well after we got done with his car my buddies like you guys should race, and well after they spent about an hour convicing me, I gave in. He lives on a farm, and there is a road about 1 mile from his house that splits his property in two, and thats were we race. So we line up, and my buddy flags us and I jump all over him end up beating him by 2.5-3 car lengths. Then we do it again cause he said he screwed up . To make sure he doesn't do that again I let him honk his horn and on the 3rd one we go. Well we go on the third on and he gets about half a car length on me at the start. I, however, come back in second, and pass him in third. I ended up beating him by about 1.5-2 car lengths. Just thought that I would share. Its not everday that you can say you beat a muscle car.
Even though I wouldn't really concider that Monte very muscular it's still cool to say.

try it again when he puts a good 4 barrel carb on there, lol

those old cars can gain upwards of 50 hp just from a new carb and intake manifold if they still had the crappy stock ones on there(ie 2 bbl carbs)

Well yea I know what a 4 brl will do, but still I think its awsome that a slow celica can beat a car like that.

yeah and still get 3x mpg

cruise at 60mph and i think you can get almost 500 miles to a full tank

edit: thats with my ST
