Last night i was goin down the road and my friend just bought a 96 chevy with a 350 and he thought he would race me. Well I only have a 300 and the really amazing thing is i beat him! And i just kept bragggin the whole night to him. But i just thought I would let you boys know that

The nice thing about the inline is quickness off the line and low end power. Give the 350 more than 1/8 mile though and you can wave bye bye. Most street drags are short though.

I think your buddy with the 300 can't shift... I've knocked the socks off of a few 302 powered trucks with my 80, and, my 82, well, it has a habit of eating Mustangs for lunch
