Have a match race set up against a 70 Dodge Charger. Best 2 out of 3 at Lakeland drag strip, Lakeland Florida, on 2/04/06.
The Charger has a 440 with some mods like a mild cam, headers, 3" exhaust.
The F body is a 95 Z28 with some mild mods like, cam, roller rockers, headers, larger valves, mild port work.
The Dodge boys are coming out to support their brand so there will be a rooting section for the bad guy.
The Camaro has been down the track and it was weak in the 60' at a best of 2.18. Once it started moving it did OK with an 1/8th mile of 8.98 at a pretty good 84 MPH. This speed tells me that the stock converter and gear are killing it.
The Dodge has just been restored and it also has the stock converter and gear, so they will both be dogs on the bottom end.
Any guess on who the winner will be? The Dodge boat has 90 more cubes, but its pulling 4-500 more lbs. Besides it is a Dodge. Better than a Rice burner, but not a Chevy.
