Hehehe, this made the money into the car ALL worth it. This black, what looked to be Nova, with a lifted rear end, HUGE hood scoop, straight pipes, racing stripe, and tachs and gauges wanted to mess with me. So off the light we go, and it’s neck and neck, once I slapped it into 3rd, I pulled away nicely. Dude didn’t even look over and wave or smile or anything, just drove on. I think he was major embarrased that a 4 cylinder just kicked his ass. Hahhahhaa, I was laughing for a good 5 minutes. lol. ---

The problem with those cars is the weight. They don’t weigh anywhere near what a 240 does - if both weights were equal it likely would have been a different story, depending on how healthy his motor was, of course. That said, well done Aaron - it IS nice to prove there IS a replacement for displacement. :E [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nova-gets-taken/137721.md?page=2)
