Dude, that's awesome. I had the chance to get a Chevelle one time, but never got it. I'm honestly not sure what size engine it had, but it was a 1970 SS.

My friend Jason has a Chevelle with 600 HP and running a 300 shot of NOS (600 without the NOS). He's still building it, and it's almost done. Can't wait to see what he runs in the 1/8th or even the 1/4...

1970 ss had a bb454 i believe.
you can do a lot with a 454. the factory ones were pretty mild though.
mine is a 69 ss396, the stock 325hp camshaft (biggest POS cam ever in a big block factory car). but its got a little less than 400hp right now. pretty mild 396. but it runs about 13 and a half. was going to be build into a show car/street driven mild chevelle... but ran out of money. chevelles drive really really nice btw. it has power steering and a/c. but the ac isn't in there right now

if he has a good set of slicks he will run damn fast, i'd say 10s with 900hp in an aprox 4500 pound chevelle. he will have to have a roll cage and a helmet, and other misc ---- to race it. but it'll be faster than ----

thats if he can ever get it runnin right. its hard to tune a car with i'm assuming a big cam and carb'd. especially with the advent of nitrous.

He is darn good at what he does. He does head work for people all the time around here... btw, it's got rollcage and everthing else you would expect.

Do you like the Camaro or the Chevelle better? I might consider getting that Chevelle later down the road. I was told someone blew the motor out of it, and saw it sitting behind a dealership... not sure what's going on with it now. There's just something I like about it (red with white stripes and looks NIICE inside).

well, i like the way 1st gen camaro look. they aren't really comfortable cars to drive around. but they are pretty light for muscle cars. 3200 - 3500 pounds

chevelle are very nice and very drivable cars, you'd be hard pressed to find very many cars that feel so good driving around town. they are big and pretty heavy, mine weighs about 4200 pounds with most of the ---- not in the car. i love them both, but i like the camaro better, just because i like the way they look and since this one is pretty much a street car with a dragster motor in it. its fun to drive. but then again, i've never lost a street race in the chevelle, and its fun to manually shift a turbo hydrolic 400 with a shift kit.

one time i was cruising down the highway at like 50mph. some old guy drove up in a stingray corvette. thought he was the ----, and since my chevelle has such a mild cam and low gears, it doesn't make hardly any noise when cruising. he thought he was going to be a big guy and smoke me cause i was so young. (drove the car when i was in highschool everyday it wasn't raining) he floored it and jump ahead, i shifted down manually into 1st gear at 50mph (LONG .308 rear end gears
it really got his attention when i got even with him and chipped the tires into 2nd, he looked over then and it was too late. not much to brag about cause those early 80s stringray corvettes are such dogs, very slow
except the LT1 all aluminum 427, they are fast :P

i gotta get up a play baseball in 4 hours, like everyday.

im not sure what the laws are like in the states, but in canada if you get caught for speeding but the cop looses sight of your car before he catches up to you he cant do ----, how is he supposed to know that is the exact car he tagged. Like he can read a plate while lookin at a radar gun not to mention driving at whatever speeds... thats just my .02

When I first got my license, my daily driver was an '80 Toyota with monster lift and 38" tires. The cops always had something to say about it. I once got pulled over twice on the way to school, either the usual "bumper height" or "tire coverage" violation. Or a license plate light out. Or front plate in the window. Or too loud. I started poking a hole in my shitty dash cover every time I got pulled over. I was at 32 when I got the Corolla and started getting pulled over in it. No tickets until a month ago when I, uhh, lost track of speed, and went 63 in a 35. It was the forty-third time I had been pulled over since I got my license in March of 2000.

that is hilllarious, i used to get pulled over in the chevelle all the time cause the liceanse plate light didn't work. but i fixed it, then they just started following me everything (word got around that a black chevelle had escaped from a cop quite a few times)

there is a lot of that tire converage here, everybody like to have their mudders, without flaps especially. i used to have a 1980 gmc sierra classic lifted with 33s, wasn't extreme but i never got stuck
