Ok time to clear somethings up
Belle, the guys father isn't a idiot, but his son is a complete moron. I never said anything about his dad. SkarodoM, your right, I should have said something like "what a moron" instead of "another reason chevy owners are idiots". I have several close friends that are chevy owners. We mess with each other about it, but we know it is in good fun. Dark 5.0, this guy was saying that a COMPLETLY stock 71 nova was traping 117. Stock carb, stock dual exhaust, stock tires, stock gears, stock filter, stock EVERYTHING. He was also saying that Nova weighted 2300 pounds from the factory, nothing removed. If a stock Nova can trap 117, I'm sellin my car and buying a 71 Nova |
:D burner i work with a bunch of chevy guy's,two of them are idiot's but the rest of them are ok ,the 2 stooges alway's want to race my STOCK gt with their built out the a-s 454 camaro's, i just laugh at them ,the other guy's just roll their eye's,they know so i dont dog them all just those two, but we have 1 ford guy that everyone hate's,not because he brag's about ford's he is just an idiot,l8ter:D

Dark 5.0 - Sorry, but a '71 Nova is not a very light car. I'm assuming this kid's dad's car came with the big, bad 270hp 350 from the way he claims it moves. That makes it 3200-3300 lbs in stock trim depending on options. If you think that qualifies as a really light car, then I guess my new Stang is a featherweight too. I have several friends with Chevy II's - those are the only really lightweight Novas, although some of the late 60's models were a little under 3000 lbs.

I find it funny that everyone thinks my '70 weights a tonne cause it's so old. Then when I try to tell them it weighs less than a brand new mustang they don't believe me :rolleyes: |

Now that says it all and is completly true. Would even be a good theme for this entire thread...:) |
I think Mach 1 nailed this one perfectly.
What is kinda sad about this particular case is that the Dad probably has a very nice Nova, but the arrogant, uninformed son is playing a game of "my daddy can beat up your daddy". I used to have a nitrous injected Buick LeSabre that reached 521hp on the dyno. It was my daily driver. My ex-girlfriend of 8 years had 3 kids, and they were very impressed with the Buick, but didn't know or understand any of it's particulars. They just knew it was fast. Well, one day at little league, one of the other kids fathers approached me and asked me about my "nitro burning Buick funnycar". I looked at him puzzled, and he quickly told me the story he had heard from his kid. By the time the details of my car had reached him, it was nothing short of a top fuel funnycar/daily driver. We both had a long laugh over it, but I will say he was quite impressed when he checked it out. Still, kids take pride in their parents things, and often exagerate, especially when it's something they don't fully understand. Take care, -Chris |
Blue00GT When I refer to Novas being light I am talking about drag cars that are race prepped..
Its not hard to get a Nova to weigh under 3000lbs. Most people I know have 400sb in there novas. They are a very respecible car in drag form. Stock they are turds. |
Dark 5.0 - I read you there. My buddy is rebuilding his '63 Nova with a blown 383 as we speak and his is slightly under 3000lbs with full interior. It's got a ladder bar rear supension, but still has the original bench seat. Scary thing is it is going to be street driven alot - we can't wait to go punish the ricers with some classic American muscle.
