I agree with Bruce 260-270....those heads and compression too low...

Tod74 04-13-2009 05:45 PM

For the record I was just yanking his chain...I guess maybe 300

chevynovaman 04-13-2009 07:07 PM

I THINK 350 HP, PUT YOU INTO THE 13'S 1/4 MILE.. OPINION

cepx111 04-13-2009 11:41 PM

Ya'll under estimate the power of them high flowing vortecs heads, 350 easy maybe closer to 375Hp ~ Tod you crack me up.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS.

I remember being 18 and thinking my stuff was bad ass with it's flat top pistions and double hump heads....A friend of mine would run his mouth to guys with 9 or 10 second cars (really fast for the time) just to piss em off then laugh while they wasted their race gas and nitrous blowing his doors off.

mopar1968 05-17-2009 08:03 PM

ok when you get ready with that mix breed i also have a street legal 72 big block challenger, come and see me.

I worked at a burger joint in High School and our boss used to brag about how fast his maverick was...how he would have it to 120 mph and such...He was what you would call a nerd...definitely not a "car guy" he finally drove it in and basically insisted we take it for a spin(me and a buddy that worked there) Let me tell you that thing was a death/rattle trap and we ran the shit out of it...it shook and vibrated...it was a real pile...I was in the passenger seat and we had that thing going 100 mph scared me to death.....and not because it was fast but because it was a turd.

justin45 05-17-2009 08:12 PM

justin45 05-17-2009 08:26 PM

hahah its a turd right now but a maverick doesnt look to much different than a vega. and if u look kinda closely it looks like a vega and a nova combined..

mopar1968 05-17-2009 08:28 PM

Sorry to say But it's a Maverick it will always be a ''TURD'' :!: :!:

mopar1968 05-18-2009 07:28 AM

Well that just plum tickles me to death knowing how you feel, I am so glad you came on here voicing your opinion even though no one on here gives a big shit,You must be one of those people that has a piece of junk that you call a racecar sitting in the back corner of your garage, for people to look at, don't take it to the race track fearing someone will see you get smoked, get out of the men's world and go back and play with the boy's :!: :!: :!: I don't get my pant's in a wad, why get excited over a cry baby like you :!: :!: By the way what the hell is a ''BOWHAY'' anyway :?: :?: Hey guy's you have to checkout 'Bowhay's'' profile he has a 83 chevy pickup and he is whoopin up on Ford's, what a freakin joke :!: :!:

JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

txhunter69 05-18-2009 08:53 AM

well mopar you can take a break in this match cause there both in school tryin to get smarter haha

bowhay 05-18-2009 12:23 PM

ok
first off Bowhay is my last name and youl do well to stop your lil attempts to desrespect it
i came on here having no problems with u
all i saw was that u were messin with my buddy justin45, and no that didnt make me mad i thought it was kind of funny
but its really nice to see that an old man such as yourself can dish it out and sure as hell cant take it
so what if my truck aint fast enough for you or any other sun of a gun on here
i love my truck and i dont give a rats ass,
and who gives a f*ck if ur dart runs like a bat out of hell
ooooooooo u have a probably 10,000 dolloar motor and im sure at least the same amount in chassis work
do that to anything and it will be fast as hell
me and justin are 18 years old

and we came on this site hoping that people would help us to learn what we need to learn to be as good at this stuff as you all are
but instead we have found people like you who cant see past that fact that we are young and do not know alot
all you see is someone u can talk shit about

now dont get me wrong there are people on here who have helped me emmensly
onedragracer, dparker, tod74 just to name a couple
but there has also been a bunch of those just like old mopar1968 here
who thinks they are better than me because they have an absolutley badass dart and challenger
i just wanted help from some seasoned dragracers
but now i would much rather just do shit myself then deal with poeple like you
when i need help, thats exactly what i need, HELP not shit talkin from an old man who thinks hes some kind of hard ass

justin45 05-18-2009 12:43 PM

anyways on the turd point.. what the hekll would u call a dart then??? one of the turdiest mopars ever made :!: :!: :!: and wow aint u big and bad trying to say uve seen more racecars and tracks woo. ive prolly seen more cars and helped on more cars than uve seen ur own dick so yea keep talkin crap to some kids who are trying to learn therer way thru if u need to feel smart and big and bad. but if u do think ur that smart and that big and bad come down here to texas and race some of these west texas boys and see if u dont go home crying in last place :!: :!: :!: pos mopar lover ahahahahah :!: :!: :!:

mopar1968 05-18-2009 12:44 PM

To the both of you :!: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: LMAO
