Them things are junk stock...I wasted one in my 350 TPI IROC with no trouble so imagine what'd you do

 

I got to run the Monte finally. I work with him and his girlfriend and we all got done at the same time. He was hesitant about racing me, but his girlfriend wanted to see. (obviously he brags too much about his car to her too) I asked her what car she wanted a ride in, she said she didn't want to be in the losers car. She hopped in the Monte and we pulled out onto the street. This is at 3am, and I said we run on the highway away from any cars. We roll side by side to the highway slow to about 30 and I start my three honks. He floors it on the first honk, probably didn't know what I was doing. I drop from 3rd into 2nd and hit it. Immediately I get by him, gave him a nice blast of about 6000 rpms as I blew by, I ran to about 90 and shut down. When I looked behind and couldn't count the amount of carlengths I had on him. (20-30) We pull off and he was a bit irratated. Said something like "Oh, the big 350 beats the 305 woohoo" I responded "It's a 346, and now you know where your car stands, don't brag so much" then went home.

He is still a pretty good buddy of mine, I won't talk crap about this race. All I asked is that he not brag about his car every single day until he has a 572 in it He is talking about a gen 1 350 but I'm trying to steer him away from that. We shall see what happens, losing races has a tendency to induce "upgrade syndrome" as I like to call it.

 

GREAT KILL. Friends or not I would bring up the race everytime he mentions his car. Payback for challenging a car thats out of his league. And you can tell his GF that you knew that she was getting in the wrong car.
Hopefully he is'nt going to keep saying that when he gets his new engine he will smoke you. I get that all the time around here. 99% of the time they never end up getting a new engine. Thats why i laugh at them when they say that.

 

no dude your about 3 seconds off..theyd run low 15's at 90 or so

the early ones were hi 15's but 87 and 88's had a hotter cam and ran low 15's
my dad had a 87ss 3.73;s and posi that he bought new off the lot..ran 15.1x's@89-90 all day

 

I say tell him to trash his monte, and join the fbody club.
