Uh. What?

Uh. What?

That's a time you could get crossing the trap at the top of third. The MPH might be a little low. That car is probably a bit slower. Maybe mid-14s unless he added a non-stock cam.

Mine was in the mid-15s with the 305.

Figured I would revive this thread.

Here is a great example of crazy people selling these cars:

This a 1985 Monte Carlo SS super sport, It has the original rebuilt 5 liter, 305 V8 engine in it.

This car is not perfect but it is a very fast drivable car. This car is too fast for us. It is so fast it is barely street legal. This is like a factory race car.

Wait... What?

[kevm14]

Haha, unlikely. It's not that a 305 cannot be made fast. But the time and effort is better spent on a 350.

You don't want that one. It has a rust hole in the frame.

[kevm14]

That's why it's so fast.

The funny part was the stock 305 and the factory built race car. Maybe if this was 1988 this might be valid but today, a Honda Accord is faster 0-60 than 7.7 seconds. Nobody says that they are too fast or barely street legal. Sounds like sales hype for someone that knows absolutely nothing about these.
