If I run into someone with a big block applying some of today's advancements......gonna get my @#* handed to me. things can always be deceiving.
I also raced a cutlass back in high school when my car ran a solid 16.0 quarter....yes I said 16...and I thought it was quick...so I had this coming. the cutalss had half an inch of dust/dirt all over the top with cat crap and cat prints to boot. the interior was trashed with a walmart guage pod. The car had home made traction bars, but the car sat slightly to one side instead of level.
When we raced, it was so loud....scared me bad enough I killed my engine...and it was an auto. The thing was instantly revved out.....like my cr-250 2 stroke. Never had seen anything like it.
should have noticed the Nitrous plate under the carb...or understood that when they said it was a 383 race engine out of their stock car...they might not be bluffing. U could hear the crowd laughing for miles.
The point...anything can be fast...talking to the owner is what I look at...and not so much the cubic inches of the car.
