Sweet cars. I feel bittersweet that my current model vw gti with just bolt ons(downpipe, a bigger turbo and tune) that makes 400 whp can beat it any and every way imaginable.

In a 1/4 mile or top speed?
(QUICK or Top Speed? A stock 1967 Shelby GT500 was recorded at 170 mph, and it averaged 142 mph for 500 miles to set a record.

For sure quarter mile, many guys with a similar setup have ran in the 11's, and others have done 170-180+, I've hit something somewhat lower than that but up there. In the twisties there wouldn't be much of a challenge for me.

I'm not shitting on the car at all, it's apples to oranges, but just interesting that an econobox can beat one of the baddest cars from back in the day without cracking the engine open


An old school Yahama V Max can top that

Yeah well a 747 can beat that...know what else can?? Light!!!! Boom! I win.

See how stupid your comment is?


Toe up on the line on the GROUND and figure out how stupid your comment is

Those V Max bikes were monsters of their time.

Way before the Superbike craze.

IIRC 50% of those ended up in crash.

Was attending Golds Gym mid 80's and a Gym Rat there bought one. Showed everybody, crashed out in a week.

65 Buick Special with a 350 SBC, and a Turbo 350, gives me a shit-eating grin every time I drive it.

WaJim knows all about it.... LoL. He helped finished it for me.
