I heard that Cobra has a 427FE motor...and it makes sick power.

Nice one.. and they say you guys don't have a sense of humor! :lol:

To be honest I think your Chevelle has a better chance than your Corvette.. that Chevelle is much more sorted out than it was last year and really hauls ass now.

Then again, the Corvette did really well in the Super Chevy track day.

Alright Steve, fess up, or did I miss it? Upgrades, holes cut, ????? swaybar attach points?

At the Good Guys Chicago show the vette was actually faster than the Chevelle and we were having some minor fuel issues too.

At the Optima event, the Vette will be on street tires though (Pilot Sport PS2's) Nothing is available for the size wheels the car has in a track tire. 20x12.5 in the rear is the problem.

All in good fun Steve... gotta trash talk a little before the main event!

Or the "weighs nothing" Factory-5 cars... Hey, if it was easy it wouldn't be much fun.

Us heavy old Camaros are at a distinct disadvantage to some of the rides showing up.


Welcome to our world... running a Chevelle against Camaro's. Our 70 is about 4200 lbs with driver and fuel. Most Camaro's are 500 to 700 lbs lighter.

Yea.. Jackass had the same problem finding 20-inch race tires.. I think the Chevelle will do great on the big track.

And the "trash talking" is all in fun.. but we are coming for you Ricky Bobby!

Longer rear shocks.. bigger brakes.. a few other "special touches". David's swaybar design alreay has seven points of adjustment.

Nothing huge.. just fine tuning the girl for the event. This time I'm even going to run all 8 cylinders..
