That’s a straight drag car, it’s going to have an automatic. They’re much more consistent when it comes to ET bracket racing. Stop saying automatics are for pussies. When you get dusted by a prius in a bracket race, I’ll be there laughing at you.
Uh, anyone here with diarrhea of the mouth would be “schooled” by either of these cars. Im a Ford fan, but I have tons of respect for them all. These are low 9-second cars and the margin of victory at a track would have been less than 3 tenths. And why is it that every snot-nosed punk kid looking in the trunk of a race car has to say, “So, dude, zit got noss?”
@badassmemo yeah i know? 1/3. that nova to build it up into a 9 second car max should cost you 35k at a max! easily 20k. that vette. how much for the car it self alone? with the original engine? 35k minimum no? a nice one? even if its 25k. or 20k. now what about building it up into the 9s? should cost a decent amount. alright maybe not 1/3 but still a big difference. that vette to start costs more to build a muscle car from early 1970
@Snortemup i disagree. until your making serious power the manual is an advantage. when your makin like 6 or 700 then the auto would definitely be better. in the case of these two insane cars here… thats an automatics win
@Snortemup lol?? that takes all of the skill out of drag racing? do you see any nascars that are auto? any indy cars that are auto? any formula 1’s that are auto? no i arrest my case. anyone can just step on the gas…

yep, every time vette shifted, nova pulled away. gottem on the hole shot too. it was play catch up from that point on
get fucked tuners.

There both good old american muscle, so I like both cars.
lol… trannies is what probably gave the edge to the nova.
Sounded like a powerglide vs a 6 speed. W to the Auto
@ljdgm Dude I can find a freaking Vega for 300. I will take that vette any day of the week.. Dont get me wrong though. Nova’s are killer.
@Natezoinks i can find a 78 nova for less than 1k. i can build a cheap race car. and even foxbodys are reasonable
@ljdgm half that if you build a fox body…
damn, compared to the nova, that vette sounds like shit
is the vette on IRS still ?
@badassmemo yeah i know? 1/3. that nova to build it up into a 9 second car max should cost you 35k at a max! easily 20k. that vette. how much for the car it self alone? with the original engine? 35k minimum no? a nice one? even if its 25k. or 20k. now what about building it up into the 9s? should cost a decent amount. alright maybe not 1/3 but still a big difference. that vette to start costs more to build a muscle car from early 1970
@ljdgm 1/3???? the corvette isnt a lambo….and the nova is a classic….
that nova cost 1/3 for what that vette cost. and if not. waste of money. single digit car is no more that 20 to 25k.
@Snortemup AGREED love bangin second gear and burnin it up
Gen 1 ChevyBaby!!Better than a hemi its Bow-tie Power~!!
@2889joeracer Ya that it true. It’s more fun to drive a manual then a automatic too.
man, that vette got violated!
@Snortemup i disagree. until your making serious power the manual is an advantage. when your makin like 6 or 700 then the auto would definitely be better. in the case of these two insane cars here… thats an automatics win
they sounded SICK when they let off wow.
@ftb28 Ya “arrest” your case because your just saying the same thing I already said but apparently you didn’t read or understand it.
@Snortemup lol?? that takes all of the skill out of drag racing? do you see any nascars that are auto? any indy cars that are auto? any formula 1’s that are auto? no i arrest my case. anyone can just step on the gas…
@MiKePaRkEr235 ya it sounded big and mean lol
@ftb28 i heard a guy say “big block chevy” so maybe a 468 or somethin
Holy crap… amazing!
