The LT1 is a nice engine, so is the 396.
Makes me wonder what my old Chevy would do in the quarter.


Pick your poison.

I would take either one of those. My second car was a 70 Camaro, wish I never sold that darn thing.

Sorry, not sorry. Not a fan of Camaros.

There are better examples of small blocks in street form seen from Ford and Mopar. The 396 turned a good time but the mph is a little low. Just shows it had great traction.

You can find many 340 powered dusters, darts, and demons on that channel and every single one of them runs significantly faster than the 302 Camaro. Not really many SBF on the channel for some reason, there's a cougar with a 351 that ran a low 14.

As for big blocks, ALL the Mopars have that 396 covered pretty easy. Hell, even most of other Brand X cars are faster than the 396 car.

I mean I guess if you like pretty, slow cars, then you like Camaros. I'd rather have a plethora of other cars that a Camaro.
