So I'm getting gas and this 68/69 (I can't tell) Nova pulls up next to me. I say "good Lord that's a nice car", he replies with a thanks and compliments my vette as well. I ask him how much hp he's running and he said not much, around 450 when it's running right, not as much as your car. The thing is this thing had beastly meats in the rear, rear spoiler (you can see it in the pic because his trunk is open to view his gas levels), full roll cage and a blower. I'm thinking he must have at least 500 maybe 600. Maybe he just didn't want me to know? Lol anyway it was a nice scene so I snapped a pic.

Cool.
He don't know or care! He just does it.

ky-ss

or he's sandbagging.

Take a stock Chev small block and add a blower you're probably not making over 400-450. But I guess if you factor in the spoiler that's another 50, the roll bar is 40-50 and the beastly meats would be 50-75.

My guess is the guy just likes to look fast but probably hasn't raced the thing at all.

Very cool.

C6ROLLER

I just figured if you're investing in those mods you probably have more than 450 but I'm no expert.

Sorry -- I'm old -- but WTF are "beastly meats?"

C6ROLLER

Lol my dad is a car guy and he calls big fat tires meats, he's 73.

Bruze

Haha, okay, I've never heard the expression before.

cool pic. it's always fun to see another car enthusiast out and about.

C6ROLLER

Thanks and that's exactly my thoughts as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Hmm he was probably lying. Did you tell him you have only 430 hp?

Rogers 07

450 hp Yeah yeah, thats the ticket!!!

C6ROLLER

436! NPP buddy! But no I didn't mention my hp numbers.

C6ROLLER

Haha nice engine how much hp are you really making? What's your guess at hp numbers for the guy at the gas station?

Nice, I bet it sounds good as it looks. Gotta be 600+ at the crank. He probably gets asked that a lot, and was just pulling your leg.
