Re: Car enthusiasts: what model is this Corvette?
[QUOTE=johndeeregreen]Not entirely true. In '69, the big blocks got up to 435hp/460lb/ft, with the standard 327 being 300hp/380ft/lb. Power didn't completely evaporate until the mid-70s.[/QUOTE]
Like I said slow as shiite :roll: I had a 4-dr daily driver that would smoke even that big block C3

What 4-door daily driver did you have that could do 0-60 in 5 flat? Of course technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, but let's not act like a '69 Vette BB would get the doors blown off it by a Honda Accord.:oldlol: 5 seconds is still pretty quick.
Even disregarding that, you said they had no power - which is just flat out false. They didn't totally gut them 'til the mid '70s.

Flat out false? lol So you're telling me you think 400 at the crank is a lot of horsepower? When my 4-dr daily freaking driver put that down at the wheels? GTFO :roll:
Re: Car enthusiasts: what model is this Corvette?
Could be a late 70s Vette, but it's heavily modified and it hurts my eyes.

At the time absolutely it was a lot of power. Even now, 435 isn't negligible, let's not act like it is. It steadily declined to humiliatingly low levels through the decade, but to act like every C3 was gutless is a fabrication. Although you seem to have a pretty well built complex about admitting that you could have been mistaken about anything.
Why I'm arguing with a troll is beyond me anyway.

This what I thought the whole time I was reading this shit.... like we know cars, he's a dumbass.
Re: Car enthusiasts: what model is this Corvette?
Obviously you two diipshiites are out of touch with the horsepower game. To you 400 crank HP = omg omg lmao :roll: This thread calls for car enthusiasts present tense not someone who once had a old uncle that might've been into cars back in the '70s so that makes you an expert on performance. My statements about slow ass heavy powerless C3 vettes stand, even if you want to magnify EXCEPTIONS over the RULE :rolleyes:
Best C3 performance
[code] 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 0-60 mph 5.2 Quarter mile 13.8
1970 Chevrolet Corvette 427 0-60 mph 6.0 Quarter mile 14.1
[/code]
It's even worse than I thought. I wouldn't even need my 4-dr for that weak showing. My current daily driver which is my slowest car by FAR would walk that big block /smh too funny
Now the typical C3 that 99.9% actually sees occasionally out there or owns.
[code] 1973 Corvette (350ci) L82 0-60 mph 6.6 Quarter mile 14.9
1973 Corvette (454ci) 0-60 mph 6.3 Quarter mile 14.4
1976 Chevrolet Corvette 0-60 mph 8.0 Quarter mile 16.3
1977 Chevrolet Corvette 0-60 mph 8.7 Quarter mile 16.4
1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 0-60 mph 7.2 Quarter mile 15.5
1980 Chevrolet Corvette L82 0-60 mph 7.3 Quarter mile 15.2
1982 Chevrolet Corvette 0-60 mph 9.1 Quarter mile 16.4

400hp ain't shiite Get over it :rolleyes:

Hey I would be glad if it actually was but according to your stats you posted on the next reply you're slower than that early big block C3 whereas I would walk it :confusedshrug: :no:
