Vette's suck. I had a 1982 Shelby Charger 2.2L (That's a 4 cylinder)that would S M O K E Vette's on a regular basis. The look on peoples faces when I popped the hood was priceless.

You know if you make the race short enough a Radio Flyer wagon and a big elastic band could beat the vette as well.

Of course Vettes of that era could only dream about 15's.

You guys are so wrong. Everybody knows that this is only because of the Palestinians. Israel is right in this instance.

1/4 mile or top end not 1 Vette beat me. Only thing that ever beat me was a 69 Camero with 454. That was no contest. I beat him badly off the line but he caught me about 2/3 of the way thru the 1/4. The Shelby Charger was light and quick...but lacked the ponies.(It was a frickin 4 banger!) Fastest I ever had it was 145 top end. We street raced, so never had an ET.

I actually think it was Monkey vs. Robot... not the other way around.

rpm.. are you old enough to have a licence?

I rode in several of those "shelby's"... My sons stepdad had one. They were ok when the turbo kicked in but any 5.0 mustang woulda blown the doors off em. I don't know what town you are in... maybe one at 12,000 feet? maybe you live at 12k and all the cars you raced were carbureated and there was no mechanics that know how to do tune ups?

miatas are gay... It is allways funny to see some middle aged man who has been forced to drive his wifes miata to the groccery store to get feminine products for his wife.

Lasz - what 5.0L's are you riding in that you think are "fast?"

Those 1982 era 5.0's had what, 140 hp?
