For the record I rarely ever do this on a street and I know the dangers of a street race but the temptation was just too great and I fell to weakness. I was following this mid 80's Z28 yesterday and as we was approaching a stoplight this idiot deliberately slowed down right as the light was changing. I switched lanes and the guy motioned for me to roll down the window. He said "nice car, looks slow" and started to rev up. Yeah I know i got a 5AT but i turned off the A/C and dropped to manual shift. Light changed and we both punched it. To make this story short he never stood a chance, his front end never reached the rear end of my car and by my third shift he was a car length behind. Back in the day I use to think those cars were fast.

haha did he have a mullet? also i think our cars cut the A/C under full throttle automatically? Anyone know if this is true?

 

[steve350z]

no mullet, was just some punk looking kid. not sure about the A/C cutting off automatically but I didn't take any chances

 

[smoothz]

Sweet! Woohoo, look at my mullet blow in the wind! Nice kill. I believe those things have a 350 under the hood? Or is it a 305? I don't blame you for falling to temptation. It was karma that you needed to teach a lesson. People just need to learn the hard way to respect the Z.

Mid 80's camaro most likely had a "305 H.O."

haha... it must have been this guy. Just listen to this. I couldn't stop laughing.

IROC dude

 

[JTS2005]

LOL, 270hp and he can out run a cop, sure!!!! what an idiot

 

[Z916]

Don't forget that the radars don't work on his car because he waxes it every week.

4th gen with LS1 might give you a problem...but I suspect this car's as fast as or faster than a stock 5.7 TPI, too...

yeah I believe they are around mid 13's stock

 

[TruBluZ]

So many V8s, so little time...to beat them all!

 

[AZAZ]

Yeah, the A/C cuts out at WOT. You can tell it in the summer when it does it. The air will get a little warmer for a few seconds.

 

[jinxxycat]

Nice Job Steve! *disclaimer--street racing is not being condoned* Show those little punks who's boss, mouthing off like that.

My god, a Z beat the almighty V-8 powered superstar Z-28?!? Well all you doubters, read this bit of history on the lamented 1984 Camaros..

On the mechanical side, Cross-Fire injection was dropped, but the Z28 offered an optional 5.0-liter 190-hp H.O. (650-cfm) V8 engine (an emblem located on left side of rear bumper was marked "5.0 Liter H.O"). It came hooked to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. This engine, introduced in the spring, was the most powerful carbureted engine offered in a 1984 Chevy.

Even if the redneck added one hundred horsepower through mods, it still loses...

 

[Zboy]

Yeah but does your Z have a chain steering wheel and custom order T-tops? Its so sweet.
