Chevelle vs. Olds 442 vs. Firebird RamAir
It was on saturday night when I heard the rumble of the big blocks from my house miles away. To my amazment when I arrived I saw the RamAir smokin the tires. It was great. Later on in the night the guy who owned the Chevelle (bulit merlin motor, almost full drag setup) races the Olds 442. The roar of those big blocks racing down the road was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. I know this isnt the place for domestics but I never knew how cool they could be (having measurable torque and all). Well I still like hondas and stuff at least.

I think most of the people here are into cars period. This really doesn't seem to be a "drive a Honda or get out!" board. So we welcome any races.

I raced a baracuda
Man I was coming back from the world finals in spokane and this late model baracuda rolles up on me on the freeway. Damb I thought his front tires were going to come off the ground at 75mph! We stopped at a GS and BSed for about an hour, turned out that the guy had dropped a hemi big block in a "hurst" edition of the baracuda~and yes his was an original HURST Baracuda. You know the one that made hurst shifters famous. Any way he was really surprised that my eclipse was as fast as it was. Even the old school guys like quick four cylnders.

You just can't beat the sound of a big block rumble. The power and torque in those are great. I personally like both import and domestic vehicles. But I prefer my honda because of the MPG and reliability.

Even though I like Hondas, there is just something about the power and sound that an opened up V8 makes. It just sounds mean, arhh, arhh, arhh. Doh, I mean yey vtec.

I'll just put all the stress on my car going really fast...going forwards. And in the corners as well...can't forget the corners.

Thats good everyone likes cars period. I agree with you guys, you cant beat the rumble of a big block. The guy with the chevelle was runnin a crate motor with like 600 cubic inches or somethin. I work with him and he also has a Corvette Stingray. What a lucky guy

I figure pretty much any engine sounds good as long as it's done up properly. I like the sound of a nice H22, b18, b16 etc....to a 302, 428, 454
as long as it sounds good. I think most car enthusiest's (I kan't spell worth shit  ) will agree with me.
