91 rs vs. 73 roadrunner
kid started talking about how a manual tranny adds 150-200 hp. i told him he was a tard. he then procedes to call me out. i realize i will probably lose but atleast he cant talk crap when he doesnt beat me by the 10 cars he said it would be.
so ive got a 91 rs with a 305tbi and 700r4 tranny. i have put in an open element, took off the factory catback, installed a 3.27 posi 9 bolt, and the sonnax tv spring.
this kid has a 1973 satellite with a 440 and i would think 727. theyre only rated at 280 net and weigh close to 2 tons. he says 3.73 posi rear. honestly i drove it and was disapointed.
im gonna go tonight either way
how u think it will turn out?

In '73 those cars were big fat pigs. Think Cordoba, basicly the same car underneth. If it's any kind of a good 440 though it should beat you. On the other hand lots of folks have no idea how to tune them so you might just win

I'm goint to guess the Mopar by 3 lengths to 100mph. I'd rather see the Pontiac win however.

I think it will take you to 60 or so then you will creep past it. They are way heavy...
