Is a stock 4th gen F body quicker than a 1st gen F body?
 
Wondering what would win a quarter mile race, a 350 from 1967,68, 69? Or the computer technology of an LT1 or LS1?

Mike 01-15-2013 01:17 AM
Google wins every time. By a large margin

NJ Torque 01-15-2013 05:23 AM
LS1.

stealth355tpi 01-15-2013 07:13 AM
Not even a race, ls1 has it all day long.

Mezzy 01-15-2013 07:40 AM

Mezzy 01-15-2013 07:41 AM

LS 4th gen wins. Decent tires on BBC car and the margin all but disappears.

I guess my "NO!" wasn't sufficent for him. You put way more effort than I would have, thanks!:wink:

BonzoHansen 01-15-2013 08:13 AM
he seems to like being wrong.

Mezzy 01-15-2013 08:15 AM
It is sufficient,lol I just thought they did. How do you post the stats so quickly?

Mezzy 01-15-2013 08:17 AM
Would you pay all that money for those cars?

The information is available on the internet. Pretty easy to search.

If I had buckets of money, I would love to have a few nice, rare examples of 60's/70's muscle cars in my collection.

Mezzy 01-15-2013 08:22 AM
Me too. I'd want a 69 rs/ss big block with all the performance options I can swallow, lol yellow with the black

People do or they wouldn't sell at those prices. I'd certainly rather have a 70 Chevelle SS BBC than any 4th gen. And very clean 'drivers' start at $40,000 and quickly rise from there. And it's not all about raw performance numbers.

WildBillyT 01-15-2013 08:23 AM
350 would be blown out of the water by almost a full second. Same with the Z/28.

Mezzy 01-15-2013 08:30 AM
I'd love any 68,69,70 chevelle bb as well. I grew up dreaming of owning one. Kid in school had his dad get him one. A 68 w a 396. His dad owned a body shop. He was lucky. Didn't appreciate it and sold it. Thus was 1990. Now he' kicking himself, cause it was an original 396 car. I would've went to the grave in that car.

Mezzy 01-15-2013 08:51 AM
Thanks for all ur knowledge. It's greatly appreciated. You guys are fun to chat with and I enjoy learning from those who were their.

WildBillyT 01-15-2013 08:56 AM
No problem!

Performance for some of the cars was great, but not for most. Also keep in mind the gross vs. net hp stuff.

Mezzy 01-15-2013 08:58 AM
Yeah bill, I'm not gettin.g what you mean there. Can you please explain? I k ow the industry started to measure the hp at the wheels instead of the crank. Is that what you mean?
