1969 Dart GT 440 vs. 2010 Camaro SS/RS

I was just pointing out the potential. Hell there's a stock bottom end 5.3 LS that just went 5.19 1/8 they are impressive.

They are a good platform, no doubt about it. Very strong bottom end and valvetrain.

what kind of times did both cars run?? what was the mph of both cars?

It was a street race. I thought that was obvious. No one does roll ons at the drag strip.

most challenger guys i know that run autos run with the traction control on. and even then its tricky to launch them. the guys that have figured them out can get a basically stock r/t into the real low 13's while others are running high 13's to mid 14's.

He had the T-control off and none were from a dead stop. had that been the case the massacre would have been worse as my car hooks very well even on the street.

ok so you are at about half way to the price of a new camaro. and so far all you did was beat it in the quarter mile. now go make it not only beat it in the quarter mile. make it beat it in comfort, luxury,cornering,stopping and mpg. then let me know how much cheaper the dart was to build. the camaro like the new challenger and mustang are built to be all around good performers not just a straight line piece.

If I wanted all that stuff, i'd buy something else. I want classic muscle. So I own classic muscle. That is better than stock used to be.

Still don't get it. A guy beats a Camaro and its like "bet he is safer with his air bags, so there"... or "now you have to beat him from 60-0 in a braking contest". Man, oh man. lol By the way, I saw a brand new 2012 Camaro SS at the dragway last year go 14.00 flat at 100 mph 3 straight runs. I wasn't overly impressed....

I know, it was a drag race. The camaro ran a 12.87 when factory tested.

no ****. but bragging because someone only put 17K into their car to beat a car that someone paid 30K for in a straight line is pretty stupid when the 30K car does at least twice as much better.. it should cost half as much if it does less then half what the 30k car does.

the camaro is built to do more then one thing. apparently the dart is not. i'm sure there are cars out there that guys spent less then 17k on that will beat this dart.

personally i don't get the entire thread to start with. still no times or mph listed.

I don't like the term bragging but no, I enjoyed sparking his arse publicly for a couple reasons.

1. It was a chevy, run by a typical chevy guy.

2. People think these things are so damn fast. It's nice to see an old cheapo muscle car detsroy one.

3. It gave me some perspective on how fast my car is. (it gave him some perspective too, lol).

REad the original post MPH's listed, no times becasue they were street races. You know where cars spend 90% of their time...

Also, my car is setup to run straight line. Can it be made to do more? Look at that yellow thing in your sig.. yes. But as we know there is no free lunch.
