On the way home last night this hemi charger with blacked out windows and headers thought he was gonna school me. Hahaha! Boy was he wrong. We were paceing eachother at 120mph with me behind him. And I pulled around him in 4th gear and just freaken blew past him and I watched him disappear in my rear veiw mirror as he tried to hang. When I hit 158mph he was gone. I slowed back down to 80 it took him 4 minutes to catch back up to me. He cruises up beside me at about 40 and I suppose he wanted to get a closer look at the car that just blasted away from him at a 120mph roll. He probably wondered if it was the same car because I was literally out of his site. Then I slowed down and was driving like grandma after exiting the freeway. That's always fun to do.
Even 21 years later the top end of our cars is just spectacular. Last edited by rhipsher; 02-26-2011 at 10:20 PM. |

drive a brick thru the air didn't help. Top end is what our cars were really built for. |

You got that right Dom. But people will still try. You can make allot of cars fast off the line but 100mph and up our cars are in their element. That's where they dominant.

Nice kill story.
You're correct though, the top end charge is amazing. Best one I have is at the drags with a 70 Camaro that was sandbagging me. He caught me at the 330 ft. mark and played the rest of the way down, putting a fender on me now and then. Problem was, he lost the fender about the 1000 ft mark and couldn't get it back. As most know, the 1000 mark is where these cars are in their zone, pulling like a freight train.

same reason you never roll race a big single turbo supra. You think lt5's have pull over 5k, try a gt4788 stroked 2j. When you can smack liter bikes around you know you have top end

427 LT-5 will definitely be the equal of an LS-7.
