@Ratmouth66 I'd say My car won't hook till 70 with bad tires. With good tires I can come out at wot.... I'd say new radials are close if not better than the old slicks. My guess is that 0-60 times would benifit by about a second and qtr mile about .5 to .8 imo and that's on big block or big torque engines in light cars.

@retained4321 I have read "tests" for my SSEi saying it does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds..Yet mine did it in 6.4 seconds consistently, with just a drop in K&N filter and partially gutted airbox, and I highly doubt an airfilter should knock down my 0-60 time by more than a full second...which is contrary to what's been stated by these so called "tests" Get your own Cobra or Camaro or wtf ever muscle car, and make up your OWN mind what it truly does. BTW it's nothing personal, you're all dumb on this page

@retained4321 You guys aren't seriously arguing over "magazine" test results are you? LMAO get a life you pathetic faggots!! LMAO REAL world is what matters! not some "test" done by a fucking magazine or car show! These "tests" are VERY inconsistent with REAL world conditions. A stock early LS1 f-body has been quoted at mid 13's yet they dipped into the 12's routinely...STOCK.

@camirocz no... the top 396 was in a 66 corvette , it was a L78 with L89 aluminium head, should produce around 425hp..... Some people clamed that you can order it in Camaro or chevelle but I dont know if its true.

A 69 camaro with a 396 with modern sticky tire and headers can do 13s or lower in quarter mile.

The quarter mile time claimed by the factory was very high cause of the shity polyglass tire they used back then...

@retained4321 when did a 396 make 50 mopre horses tha a new mustang?the top 396 s made 375 h,.p at the engine whereas a new mustang makes 412 at the crankso get your facts straight before you stretch that toilet mouth of yours open.12.7 does not shit all over a stock 2012 gt .Thery have run as fast as 12.6 and the boss 12.35 .

[retained4321]

[camirocz]
