we have a general section now. This post belongs in it.

I don't know exactly, but that sounds a tad slow. I would have thought high 14s in the qtr.

sounds like a stock time for a base 350 motor with tall gears...

Not that I really know.. but there were so many engine, transmission and rear end options in those years the stock times are probably all over the place.

Wrong section or not, it's good to see that you're BACK. It's been a while,gal

that seems about right

hey julia,long time/no hear from! they ran 15.5 in the quarter bone stock

Solid LT1

Sounds like a "Slug" to me. I would expect even a L-48 to run mid 15s in decent tune.

carl a

the time i quoted was for the 73 ,she didnt specify a year,and yes thats a l-48 's time

cosmicvette

She said 69/70 style, but I wouldn't be surprised that a stock car with all options, base motor, normal tires would run that.

Welcome back, I don't know much about track times but my wife's Honda Accord is faster and quicker than my stock 1980, but we look better in the vette . BTW your in the correct section. Beware of the Post Police, they probably are'nt allowed to talk at home. Nobody listens to them there either
