87-na vs. chevelle ss 454
 

well i was at the square and this chevelle came up and was all revving and stuff and im like man thats bs..so i fired up my 7 and started revving and shooting flames and whatnot. on the drive through town on the way to the by-pass we were doing little 40 rolls and i was just as fast. well we get to the by pass and i was getting ready for the tradtitional 3 honks (1 ,2 ,on the 3rd go) and i was in 2nd instead of 1st like i should be. but my stupid friend rolls down my awesome manual windows and yells go. then i see the chevelle start to pull and i was up with it till about 85 mph even with the shitty start.. then........it pulled away at about 90....we raced again later and it drove by me but then i flew past it at 140mph...and the chevelle couldnt keep up

oh yea my mods are gutted interior and manifold back STRAIGHT pipe bolted to a 3 inch corksport cat back---oh and cool cat 16 inchers with kumho ecsta supras'

140MPH? You're crazy man ;).

:bsflag: it was a chevelle with a 454? was he driving in reverse?

lol sweet i love N/A

Thats what I am saying. Was this is your dreams or what?

It's not b/s fellas, what's not to believe? read it again. They raced, the Chevelle beat him, then he did a ricer fly-by. ;)

Good death.

lol i retract to BS flag. :D

Chevells came w/ more motors than just a 454 and not even is most years was the 454 avaliable. What year was it?

^ yes, the 350's were not all that fast but a real 454SS had like 400hp and 450ft lbs i had a friend in high school with a 71 SS 454, it wont be put down by a n/a thats for sure.

Okay...I'm just about done with all these rediculous N/A kills lately.

thats why i asked to make sure it was a 454. i know the small blocks were more prevalent. it is amazing to see a 454SS and they are usually anything but stock.

He'll probably come back and clarify that he forgot to add that he has a 250 shot of NAWZZZZZZZ! :rlaugh:

LOL
454SS had like 450+ HP the Z06 doesnt even have that!! Lol wow uber BS

Yeah but Chevelle SS is bit more heavier and has the Aero disadvantage so it is much slower than the Z06.


1969 COPO 427/425 ---> 0-60 in 5.1 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.3 sec @ 108mph.

1970 454 Chevelle SS ---> 0-60 in 6.1 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.7 sec @ 103mph.

1971 454 Chevelle SS ---> 0-60 in 6.0 sec, 1/4 mile in 14.35 sec @ 97mph.

You realize those horsepower numbers for the 454 are grossly inflated right? They were rated in SAE Gross, not SAE Net, which is the current formula used. The new LS2 in the C6 definately put down more power than that 454 did stock. I don't think people realize how overrated muscle cars were back in the day by modern standards. Hardly any big block Chevelles were made from the factory and as was just posted, they ran low 13s at the very best. A turbo II can do that with like a grand worth of mods.

I'm not saying that big blocks aren't badass... it's just that in stock form these cars really aren't all that impressive especially with the overrated horsepower numbers. Souped up shitboxes like EVOs can do low 13's.

My uncle has a 66 389 SS with a later 454 dropped in. Its a hot car, dynos 450 to the wheels. Hurst shifter, all that jazz.

454 Chevelles are pigs. HP filled pigs.

Now now, I never said they were faster, I just thought that for that time it was amazing to put up that much horsepower.

most muscle car guys do not know how to tune their engines, my 383 stroked '69 elcamino would have put my T2 to shame but i had to sell the car to keep the T2, the T2 will someday surpass the american steel but i still miss the ole tank...

On top of those track numbers....who would drive a stock 454 Chevelle? I sure as hell wouldn't. Give me more hp >:]

i wish my na would do 140mph

No, that era of muscle cars were grossly UNDER RATED for insurance purposes and they ran those times because of the horrible horrible shitty ass tires back in the 60's and 70's. When you have 450lbs of torque to the wheels and trying to lay it down on 245's or 225's that aren't even comparing to days similar tires, you can imagine the times they ran.

i agree, i have driven in a lot of old steel muscle cars and they have a hard time with traction at low speeds. i should especially know this having owned my elcamino, i thought the ass end was going to drop out of at times with the 285's and locked 12 bolt when it gripped though it took off like a bat out of hell.

12bolt = the mother of rear ends =P
