'93 ATX vs '90 454SS

Ok, so my buddy has a 1990 454SS Silverado. He raves and raves about it but whenever I ride with him it usually just burns out the tires and can't grip very well, and it must be as heavy as a tank. I'm just wondering how I would fair, we are both pretty much stock.

I watched a special about those and lightnings, and after seeing that you should rip him a new one. I would probably go from a roll though

they are slow imo. some light mods to a 5.7 will overtake them

How about my stock 93?

They're all low-end torque, hence why they spin silly.

Provided your SHO is in good running condition you should win the 1/4 all day long, doesn't matter if it's from a roll or dig.

You won't have a problem passing him when he has to stop at the gas station halfway through the race.

Thanks for the input guys. Currently he's evading the challenge. lol.

i dont know.......you could challenge him from a dig. with him having all that torque and no weight over the top of the wheels to keep the wheels down, he should just spin em'. what im trying to say is that he most likely wont have a good launch

 

[bafflingsteveo]

Yeah I agree. Especially because he has a roll pan on it. Idk, it just wouldn't be worth it for me. He gets like 8mpg.

You should have NO trouble at all!

7.4L, 230hp, 385ft-lbs, and a 3-Speed=slow, Slow, SLOW!

Everyone tells me they'll kick my ass but no one will actually race. It's ******* me off.

That's 'cause they know they're dogs.
