man i love my iroc but yesterday it mad me look very stupid...my friend challenged to a 100 yard race....and he has a 200 Voltswagon Jetta.......i floored my iroc from the start and the off the line pick up speed was horrible.....he blew me out the first 50 yeards but then i came back to tie with him at the 100 yard marker.....why the hell does my iroc so slow off the line....are all 88' iroc z-28 305's like that??? how can i improve it???

 

all your power should be at the low end, my 87 305 dies at the end....are you spinning wheels? i spin wheels through 1st, meaning i have plenty of torque if i can put it to the ground.....

 

no...my tires dont spin at all the engine reves up a lt but it take 2 much time to get up too speed...man its frustratin....a Jetta???? comon now

 

what gears you got? 2.73's will kill you off the line.

 

2.73 + LT1 = hold on here we go

2.73 + 305 = hold on, wait for me

I had a 1986 with 3.42's and a 1990 with 2.73's the 1990 was no comparission to the 1986.

 

Stick or auto? If it's a T-5 it sounds like your clutch is slippin.

 

Do you have TPI or TBI???

 

88 was the worst year for IROC, It isn't uncommon to find a 88 with TBI and 82 Z28 style wheels.

 

A 100 yard race? What is this the olympics?
Challenge him to a real race (1/4 mile) and see how it works out for ya.
