280Zone Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 How respectable is running a 14.24 @ 97 mph for the quarter mile? I recently purchased Riverz Hybrid and have been smiling ever since. The car is a blast and wish I would have been to the dark side years ago. The car is a 77 280 with a chevy 350 with the 700R4 trans. The engine has headers, a dual plane intake and en edlebrock 650 carb with Accel HEI. The recent runs still have me smiling ear to ear but wondering if this combination will break the 14 sec mark and force me to buy a helmet.

Synlubes Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Was this your first outing with the car, very respectable. And a helmet is a good idea regardless. Post up some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 This was the first time I have ever been on the track. I don't even think I have driven the car 50 miles since I got it. I ordered a helmet just for intimidation factor if nothing else: ) I only have one picture and a video clip but no idea how to post a video. http://dev.zdriver.com/gallery/data/500/25Firebirdstagging-med.jpg Let's see if this works. http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/videocars/Mvc-899v.mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love-my-V8-280Z Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 i have no experence running the 1/4 but I would think you will get a lot better at driving it. Do you have any idea what the HP of the motor is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
