well i did a little benchmark if you will, i got an app for my phone. to measure 0-60 and 1/4 mile.

19 sec 1/4 mile and 11 second 0-60. but those are with a 7 second 0-20 because i had to roll into it to keep from spinning.

that equates to about a 14 second 1/4 and like 5 second 0-60.

Yeah, I was young once too. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way, rather than listen to those who made similar mistakes.

mhmm but my reasoning for the big tires in the back is i dont want to be turning 3000 rpm on the highway.. and our highway limit is 65.
i could care less about speed this summer, thats happening next summer.

plus if they stick out and the back end is all jacked up thats all the better, it will intimidate ricers. and as far as i am concerned all 2nd gen camaros should be raked with big *** tires in the back

3g isnt real bad considering. I have been in the 3500-4000 range in my 76 Nova with 3.73's and 26" tires. Speed unknown.

Who needs a speedo when you can make a "tach chart"!

Well i may just be selling this beast, I have it posted and if someone hands me the money for it i wont say no.

its time i move onto a car thats a little more my style. and more in my price range..

theres a 1000 things i have to do before i can even really start modding it.

so Im going get something newer and less of a project..

to be honest i really want to see this car get a better home. one with a guy in his 40s with lots of time and money.
