not to be an idiot or anything, but I have never heard old school being slow;-)

 

[85FourEyedGT]

well i mean it seems that older cars do more with less

but a lot of people seem to think they are heavy and slow??/

I think it's interesting to see the 4 cylinder evo in the other lane turn (almost) the same numbers. That would not have happened in 1968 Times have changed

the old muscle cars weren't that fast out of the box compared to any modern car, ie: cobras, vettes, etc...

look up what they ran back in the day

true...
but, I have seen a few run very respectable times with minimal mods

I would hardly call them slow, but then again my car is slow
carry onop:

minimal mods on a pushrod motor back then were heads and cams

Guess you don't consider the cobra, starliners, Thunderbolts and other factory cars fast? they ran 11 or 12's back in the day on crappy tires!!

sounds like u guys need some help lol, old schools have some of the best suspensions and are extremely light, a friend of mine went 12 flat with his 68 mustang, 5 speed, 9 inch , HCI 5.0, 315hp

u just gotta know what the hell your doing

 

[Redmustang47]

not a bad run, but someone needs to learn how to hold the camera still!

but can it go around a corner? ;-)

Shit that Evo was right there with it. Sounds like a 4.10 or 4.56 rear with a turbo 350 or 400. I know that the Turbo 400 in my Chevelle was one tough bitch. Such a easy car to race or burnout with. I didn't have a brake in mine, but with a gear & stall, just foot brake that bitch off the line, man good times.

doesnt need to, wasnt built for that, was built to be a cruiser street car with a emphasis on drag racing

Now you're talking. but don't forget, cars like the thunderbolt were very limited production numbers and were purposely built for the race track.

Cool video! It's nice to see a street driven older musclecar running numbers like that. It seems like alot of them at the track these days are race cars only.
