My first V8 was a '72 Chevy van, 350 4 bbl 3 on the tree! Easily smoked one tire all down the block. Then, '67 350 (Pontiac V8) 4 speed. Then, '67 LeMans AT, ran low 15s at 100MPH 3.23 AT car. Then "67 FTO with .030 over 428, mid to high 13s 103 MPH (wife totalled this car, but she lived). "67 400 4-speed Firebird, 11 years. Mid to low 13s. These were all dailey drivers. Then, sold the '67 for the '98, AT with 2.73. 13-6x to 14.1. Now I have a manual again, Too Fast. First car of mine in the 12s, and by far the car with the best MPG!

73' Nova 350 cam, headwork, etc. when I was 16. Also had a 70' Buick GS with a 350 in it around the same time for a short while. Then an 85 Z28 with a GM 350/350 crate motor at 18. Then a 99' Mustang GT at around 21. Then a 99 WS.6 at 23. Then a 70' Z28 with 454 BBC at 24. Then a Nissan Titan at about 25. Now the Formy at 28. There were a couple of four bangers and one 4.3 Vortech thrown in but as you can tell I like the V8's. I also have a 12.5.1cr 355 short block sitting in the garage right now.

My first car was a 1971 Torino with a 302. Followed that with a 1973 Torino with a 351C. Then a couple of beaters before the 1970 Challenger with a worked 452ci Wedge. Then a 1989 WS6 Formula (insert non-V8 1986 GN here) back to back with a 1989 5.0 GT. Took a few years off then bought the 2000 Z28 (still have) and 1992 5.0 GT, which was replaced by a 1990 'vert Vette (still have).

70 Maverick with a 289, 351W heads, Crane "FireBall" cam, Mr.Gasket dual point, 750 double pumper, 1 5/8" SuperComp. Hookers, homemade nitrous kit, 4 speed TopLoader, 4.57 MotorSports gears with a burnt TractionLock due to too many donuts.
Bought it when I was 15 with a blown head gasket. It was running 7.70's on regular radials and 12.20's @ 122 sideways pedaling it.

Still have and I'll NEVER sell. Hundreds of memories in that car with friends that are no longer here with us........

Bought it that way,wish it did have the turbo motor.With the slicks on it,it would carry the fronts several feet,don't think the v-6 would have done that.Either way,it was a blast(6.89 was my best in the full 8th).Never ran the no2,that would have been crazy!!!!!!!Not bad for a street car thou.

I don't know... I lived right down the street from Atco and have seen many a mild-looking TR carry the wheels. My 1986 GN was, bar none, the easiest car I've ever raced. Brake-boost, lift left foot and roll down (don't stomp) right foot...gone.

Mine was a 1973 Buick Centurion, 455. Mom gave it to me after I graduated and joined the Navy. It was beautiful! Fire engine red, white convertible top, white interior, power windows, power seats, and had all 5 original rims....I miss her

Yes, I knew that, but the color (Black Cherry) is why I call my Camaro Black Sunshine.
