I’d rather have the chevelle and no way it’s making 720hp.

Both beautiful cars . Car with model 565ci BBC traps 126mph , kind of a disappointment
agreed. trap speed is waayyy too low
720 horsepower in the Chevelle is car show bragging rights. It probably makes 500-525whp and moves pretty good for a heavy car.
Spray the Chevelle with a 250 shot (instant da in a bottle) and now you have way different outcome.
Spray the Porsche with a 1000 shot. Now what?
The chevelle can take a 250 shot and the Porsche can’t.
Then spray it with a 999 shot.
It takes some serious skill to build a 565 BBC that performs that poorly.
Thats pretty sad for a BBC
I think it needs a 998 shot.
NA cars are really fun n the street when they make decent power like that. The TQ is just awesome! To me the ultimate street car would be an NA car that can go mid 9's. Downside it they're usually obnoxiously loud unlike a Turbo car. Turbo acts like an exhaust which quiets it down considerably.
The Porsche just has better technology period. Don't necessarily think it would be more fun to drive on the street tho vs. the NA big block. As long as ur going straight that is.....
But 720 whp car would trap way faster than that. Probably a 600 whp car depending on weight.

My 468ci 66 Chevy II made less HP than 750 and went 9.9s @ 134
I agree with everyone else on those numbers being wrong.

.....and you know that how? Can i borrow your crystal ball ?
Like 1000lb difference no?
With that boat anchor of a motor and full weight car, 127 trap seems about right to me?
Whenever I see 60’s muscle roll up at the strip i cringe b/c as cool as they are, they are usually all slow. It’s sweet to see that thing movin
Depends on package. Could be as little as 200lb difference, could be as much as 800 or so.
Mine went close to 3000.

I go to drag strips pretty often, most run mid 11s to high 10s .
This one gave me a good close race 3 years ago .
Would be more interested to know how the Chevelle would run with that same PDK in it...
