Just wandering about a 1979 Camaro with a 93 Corvette LT1 and 6spd. The car has 12 bolt 4:56 gears in it and maybe 20-30 hp over stock. So around 300-320 hp? What do you guys figure this would run in 1/4? How heavy are the 3rd gen camaros? This car is local and on ebay and I was considering driving to look at it on saturday? Is it worthwhile? for say 5-6K ??

i like it. engine bay looks really dirty though. i had a LT1 vette. it was a pretty kick-ass motor, in that car. in that older camaro platform i’d say itd be alittle less impressive, but impressive none-the-less. i’d leave the paint how it is if its in good shape. it looks cool. i dont know how in the hell you make a smokey and the bandit camaro…when that was a TA ---

i never really liked the second gens for long time. but now that i see the survivors in nice shape i like them. they handle really well believe it or not. they are a fun cars to drive. but that one with modern drivetrain is badass though ---
