Weight and times for early 90's camaro

[GONZO99TA]

the 305 came in differant flavors for the 3rd gens (especially since you don't know if it is a z28 or not) the top of the line tpi 305 still only put out about 220hp (can't remembr exact #s) with a 5spd these could dip into the 14's, but since you said it is auto and the owner sounds like a moron it is most likely the typical ragged out old car that runs in the 17's. nothing to worry about. just curious, but what was this kid baseing his quoted 1/4 mile time on? has he actually run the car before? i hate people that just make something up.

A new kid was hired at my work. He has a early 90's (90 or 91) Camaro. I don't know if it's a Z28, but this is what I do know: It has a 305 with 130k miles on it and an automatic. The only work done to it is exhaust.

Now, the kid said he runs 14.9's with just the exhaust. He also said that the car weighs 2100 lbs!?! I know this cant be right. When he said it, I just kept to myself and nodded my head.

My questions are, how much does his car really weigh? and is his car really capeable of a 14.9?? I want to build his confidence and get him to race me. Even if he runs a 14.9, I think I could take him without much of a problem.
