if its a stick then its not even a 350.They did not build 350 and manual combo in late 80s. It's a 305, so he has o chance. I had one of those 4 years ago.

Re: 88 IrocZ wants my head....

there are some differences between a 84 305 and a 88 305 though. There is about 35-40 hp difference i think, but late 80s are better cars. 84 has carb and 88 has f.i. I hated my 84 trans am because there was something wrong with the carb, whenever I turn the car off, it would make some embarrassing noise and rattle its a** off.
I always wondered why GM made the mistake of producing 160 hp v8 z28s and trans ams. These cars made the f-bodys look heavy,bad on gas and slow while v6 imports produced the same power with much better handling and drivability.

You ran 13.6 @ 103? Huh, well, that's into LS1 territory, and I think about ~2 seconds faster than any L98!!

Not quite! The 90-92 Speed Density cars are good for low-mid 14's stock.

As far as the IROC in question, just smoke him already.

Nice! Most of the MAF cars around here are running mid to high 14's stock.

Even if it was a 350 he'd still smoke him.
