Call out 73 camaro
 
What you want to do with a original engine,trans and rearend 73 z28 on 17's I will take the leave from your aluminum head 383 street car.

73camaro 10-27-2009 05:27 PM

We'll see, got a few things to ask about first. Few little details I wanna know: carb, electric fuel pump, tranny, stock intake/headers, tire setup of course, traction bars more than a slapper, rough weight, radio, rearend gear, trunk. Gimme those and we could very well have us a run. I'll answer any question you ask me, long as I get the same answer from you. Yes I'll show whatever to you also. No secrets or tricks, just fun with a little money on the line.

[Edit: And if you don't wanna have any details out in the open, just PM me an answer and we're cool.]

Good luck getting all that. Racing for money doesn't work like that around these parts.

73camaro 10-27-2009 05:51 PM

I figured as much. Some people would rather have their secrets than have fun. It's alright if he doesn't wanna talk.

BigdaddyDupree 10-27-2009 05:52 PM

kevin isnt much of a talker i doubt he will be on here un til tomorrow to see this. but how about ill get him to bring the car to SSS saturday night and maybe we can go to mexico

73camaro 10-27-2009 05:57 PM

Saturday night I don't have free time because of my boss's Halloween party. Following Saturday would work though.

BigdaddyDupree 10-27-2009 06:02 PM

It has the original gear, headers, holley carb, 4 wheel disc, it's blue if that makes it faster, slapper bars , 17 inch torque thrusts and a pioneer radio.
It has the same trunk as your car and more interior than your skreet machine .

you ask way too many questions to want to run for money, if you tink you are fast on street tires why does the rest matter?

slowgreen89 10-27-2009 07:57 PM

wanna try something with a car on street tires?

Stock gears were 4.10 right? I'd still like to know tire setup, if I'm allowed. And do I get a look in the trunk, or do I get sprayed on unwittingly?

Way too many questions? Got somethin to hide then? Cause I sure as hell don't. I'm tryin to run a fairly close race, not get destroyed by another sleeper. Been there, done that. Man up and be honest about what ya got. Don't like it, don't need to race then. And for the record, I'm slow on street tires. I'll give you an honest ET if you ask me.

BigdaddyDupree 10-27-2009 08:14 PM

you can look in the trunk. whats your et on street tires?

slowgreen89 10-27-2009 08:17 PM

My race tires at home are a set of 25.5 tall, 10.5 on the floor ET Streets, as seen in my pics. Early October the car ran a couple 8.16's and 8.17's in the eighth on those tires. Got a 8.17 timeslip in the glovebox if you wanna see it. That's it's best ever, and the motor was brand new then. 1100 miles later, it's starting to be broken in some more and on my 27 inch tall hard tires, it'll spin em from a 40 roll, sometimes a 45 if the weather's good. If we ran, I'd wanna go from 30 or so and roll onto the throttle and try to hook. At least, that's what works on the street, going to work every day. Brian with the GTO saw my car pull pretty hard from 35 or 40 about 2 weeks ago, maybe talk to him. I'm definitely not fast, sure wish I had the money to get there. And remember, I'm still stock converter, and the car wants 28 or 3000 stall to probably run low 12's. 388 cubes, ready for a 200 shot, torquey but still slow. I wanna have some good clean fun, that's all.

Start a new thread and we'll talk about it there. Start with what kinda car it is.

i seriously dont get this kind of a call out..
either u want to run to gauge where you are with some of the cars in the area or u dont.

i mean dont call out a blown cobra with a kenny bell mamoth setup.. on et streets or slicks.

but come on either your car hooks and does the job or it dosnt. if u dont feel like trying to make a buck so be it.. but calling a race with so many stipulations its kinda pointless..
why not bracket race the call out and run dial in et so u can win a break out?

sorry man.. i just dont see the point either you brought enough or u didnt. if u dont feel like loosing money run for fun.. just leave excuses out and take a win or loss witha grain of salt.

JMD you saw my blue camaro at sss almost a year and half ago you know what it looks like. Ace called my green camaro out but that's not a fair race i just wanted to try him with the blue car becuase it's closer to his speed.
