I had no idea what I was up against, as I didn't know these things existed...

4.3L - Turbo charged and intercooled
All-wheel drive
Corvette transmission
280hp/350tq

They only made about 8000 of these monsters.

Anyway, I still have to figure out how to drive MY BEAST, as I just finished building it a few days ago.. It's a former 2.3L auto, now 302 t-5... Gt40 block, ported gt40 heads, edelbrock performer RPM intake, Holley 650dp carb, full MSD ignition, FRPP clutch, alum d/s, 3.73 gears, road-race suspension...blah blah...


VERY, short race. He's able to launch at some ungodly RPM and all wheels stick, sling-shotting him ahead....and I spin my tires, and then I miss third, even with my Hurst shifter.


Either way, I'm not experienced with 5.0's, I'm used to the 2.3L or my 5-speed 85 Escort..


I'll attach a pic of my car just for fun.
