As for the Camaro...Don't worry about him....I gotta a guy who can make it disappear...

i'm on it! ill make it two rolls for good luck



i laughed so hard because thats the first time i've actually STOMPED on that pedal so i didn't expect that at all, does your guy drive an olds?? seems only right that "the guy" ought to

Yea....He's got a big black 4 door 98. I thinks it a late 60's model.

I also have access to a '65 with a 425 in it........... Does your '65 happen to be red, black or white? I recall seeing 3 65's at Van Nuys cruise last year.........

Don't just mash the loud pedal to the floor.Learn how much throttle you can apply without breaking the wheel loose,as you gain speed learn how to keep applying more throttle until you don't have to worry about the wheel breaking loose.
Keep the wheel on the edge of grabbing traction and breaking loose.

Only way that car would "hook-up" was to run 12lbs of air in the RR tire, and 18 in the left - came out like a posi @ 'da Grove', but pretty unsafe on the street!!
And that was b-4 radials!
Try playing with tire pressure - might work for you, too!!

Real bad thing was I had a friends L-88 intake w/3 bbl Holley in the trunk, which they also got, along with my toolbox!!
Sold the f/glass fenders for $100 and the longblock for $300 - and tearfully junked it.
But that was in '67, when things were entirely different!
