One Sweet Vette
Today I was in my black 72 vette when a 75 pulls up beside me at a light. His car was also black. The big difference in his car is that he had a huge scoop on the hood and tires so big that from the back it looked like one big wheel. I can confidently say this car was a 9 second car.(if not better). We both checked out each others cars and we both knew who would win in a race. My car was rattling from the sound of his tail pipes. I just love seeing stuff like that. :auto: :crazy:

Re: One Sweet Vette (vettemachine17)
LOL, yeah it's really so funny too, cause the 75 vettes were the lowest rated HP vettes ever made (others may have been weaker but back in those days the ratings were higher if you know what I mean). Many people are buying them and raising the HP to astronomical levels.

A 9 second street car :skep: :skep: :skep:
:iagree:
9 second street cars are pretty rare (they do exist though) :)

Re: One Sweet Vette (vettemachine17)
big scoop and big tires=9 seconds????
Sorry, but that formula is not mathematically correct....
Now if you said the '75 was snorting nitrous....well...maybe 13 seconds.....
Glad to hear you're having some fun :)
