HMMMMMM.......

is your 240 stock......

.......if it is, he'll eat your @ss, spit it out, and hand it to you.....

but then again if he hits a cow half-way down the track yeah you'll win.....lol....

but on the flip side if i raced him i would shove his V8 up his @ss....


so if the question is....."can a 240 beat a 1970 V8 camaro"

then technically yes......with mods.....!!!!!

why are you even asking this question?

i know your new here and all, but i think your making a lot bad first impressions. i know from personal experence it isn't the way to go, so if thats the road your on i'd suggest changing lanes.

leif does have a very interesing point......i have another theory on the camaro....if he happens to miss the cow going down the lane......then tell him to sell it, and get a 240.....hmmm...just a thought!!!!!!!

1970 camero.......is the V8 built or stock? Those camero's are not even close to 2500 pounds especially with a V8 in one......why don't you just give him a race, win or lose just to see were you are at.

My friend has an automatic 74 Camaro with a 350 in it. My 240's got an Apexi 3'' catback N1 exhaust and a HKS intake. When we race we are even until 115mph when the speed governor kicks in. I beat him off the line though.

the only way his camaro wieghs 2500 lbs is if hes cut it up. a v8s power differs tremendously. a 1970 engine with out being rebuilt would have less hp than your 4cyl. more than likely. even if his car is built i find that most camaros have a hard time hookin up. you can have all the power in the world but if your tires dont stick, you go nowhere. some people spend thousands on engines just to spin tires through 4.11 gears on stock leaf springs. not to mention some people just cant drive. ive seen slightly modified civics beat mustangs in the 1/8 mile just cause the guy burns tires through the first 3 gears. anyways what im trying to say is more power doesnt mean faster car. not sure if i made my point but you get the idea. just race and find out

You're kidding right?

Even if it isn't that light, I'm pretty sure you'd get spanked unless you've spent alot of money on your car.

Well, I know that my friends stock 69 Camaro with a 402(actually its bored but that doesn't make all to much difference) beats the hell out of my stock 93 Prelude VTEC (H22a1) and that my stock Prelude beats the hell out of my stock KA24DE. SO I'm guessing that unless you get some work done you won't beat an old American muscle car with a KA, and why bother when you could swap in an RB or SR and rub that muscle cars face in the dirt as you flyby? Oh yes, that 69 camaro will have much dirt to eat when I get my RB.

2500lbs does seem quite low for a camaro. most cars in the 70's were built like tanks.

old school american muscle cars are so hot. i'd love to have one but at this point i would go even more broke on gas

This is pretty sad we are agueing about two cars seperated by 20 or more years. And if im not mistake a 240sx is a great drifting and cornering car and i bet your talking about drag racing, well of course the camaro is going to win its built for it.

don't trip, its made for drag specificly i bet a 240sx could kill it on a mountain road

I bet your right, but how many times have you seen a Camaro, or any muscle car for that matter drifting?!(intentionally) Have you ever even heard of a drifting domestic? That's kind of like hearing about the long lost V8 Turbo Honda.
