And i hate people like you shithead. Don't jump on the popularity bandwagon asshole.

 

I could give two shits about the having everyone like me on this board but i dont come on here acting like a fucking dick, like you did. and like i said before its a very nice car

 

Jesus, drop it tool bags.


It's a damn nice car if I may say so myself.

 

wrong.

according to "corey r." its a 1969 Super Sport with a Muncie M20 4 speed w/ 327ci w/ 1.94 valve "camel hump" heads. this means that engine could have either 210hp or 275hp in stock form from the factory. yes, other engines did exist and these camaro's are less common...and obviously not what this guy has.

now again i don't know much about 1st gen camaro's...hence my first post in which i asked corey r. if his car was fast. it looks like work could be done to the car...and i'm really not sure what certain mods yield in the way of horsepower.

and obviously a degree in sociology means nothing when working on cars, however a college degree can be a measure for someones ability to listen and learn.

so "pimp" if i were you i wouldn't post when what you have said is incorrect.

 

Depends on what you're comparing to. Back then, they were fast. Compared to today's SS it was a pig...albeit a much better looking pig. Personally, given the choice, I woud take the '69 pig as my Christmas present.

 

this is always the argument my dad makes when comparing modern day cars to older vettes/chevelles/camaros. with 60's brakes, suspension, etc, 14's were pretty quick. still though, the L-34 or L-78 was pretty damn fast, or at least thats what i thought.

 

Yep, you can upgrade the suspension and tires etc and their times will improve some. Keep in mind though that 400 hp in '69 is not the same 400 hp in 2002. On the bright side though, they are a hell of a starting place if you want to do some mods and have a killer looking car that's really fast and has lots of crowd appeal. BTW, here's my last daily driver from about 3 1/2 years ago. All original and stock and ran a blistering 11.5 at Sunshine whereas my current '91 Mustang runs 11.1 (best) at Bradenton. Not really a fair comparison since the '91 is slightly modded but still...

 

If you little kids get my thread locked, im going to be pissed!

But thanks for the compliments!

Not sure if ill get to make it to the show this weekend or not, i have finals next week....

 

Tony hit the nail on the head! Cars back in the 60's and 70's had alot more cubes and HP, but they also had alot more weight, no suspension, no tires, and aerodynamics of a Kenworth COE! I've seen Corey's 69 run 15's, it's probably capable of really high 14's, and that's modded. If a 'stock' car ran 14's nowadays, I'd take it back to the dealership and tell them something is broke!!

 

60' 2.6
1/4 15.4 @94.5 MPH

i couldnt hook up worth anything on the 15 year old tires, as can be seen by the crappy 60 foot times.... ive never spun so much in my life!

if i had new tires id be good for low 14's, as indicated by the MPH.

not bad for a stock 35 year old motor!
