Well as some of you may know, I have recently put in a posi-traction unit into my 464 1967 Riviera, but it looks like my friend in his 95 Z28 never got that memo. I took advantage of the nice weather today in Chicago I went out on a cruise and my buddy came with his Slowmaro. Anyway we line up on this deserted industrial road and I bring it up to 2200 and there she goes! jumps, spins, bites, jumps again! Z28 gained a little, his nose was at my quarter panel and stayed there. He was a little upset the 4500lbs (or so) "Executive Express" beat his 3400 lbs pony car. We tried from a 30 mph roll to, and that was even worse news for him, I was a car length ahead the whole time. All in all I am very happy with the posi , now if I could just get some better tires.

Well , its chevy hunting time. Nothing like the down low torque of a big buick or olds. I remember beating a 65 chevy ss impala with a 425 olds .And the chevy was a 4 speed ,325 horse-396. The olds was a 65 -98 with a shift kit and a posi. I could brake torque that thing ,and it wouls fishtail pretty good. I live in chicago also, and we raced from laramie & lexington on the entrance & exit ramp ,to cicero & lexington. i beat the chevy by almost a car. Needless to say ,that guy was shocked .braging about how he was going to beat me. I thought he would too. I raced him for fun . Broke his lil heart. That olds was tuff. And he git his hat handed to him by a 68 wildcat . That was a fast car also. The owner would bet that you could not get a $20.00 bill of the dash when he told you to get it. Big blocks rule.
Ah yes the old $20.00 bill on the dash story. Thats been around for at least 20 years that I know of. I think I would just sit back and catch it as it slides off the dash.:laugh: Bob H.
A friend of mine used to tape one-sided photocopy fake ones to the passenger side of the dash on his pro-street camaro... it was always good for a laugh, especially when he left his windows open at cruise-in's and it would disappear. ou:
That was in that movie with that kid in the Mustang. Born to Run or something like that. I think he stuck a $100 on the windshield and told that chick to grab it when he accelerated.
Boy oh boy this Riv is trouble. This guy in a V8 Ram 2 door was gassing it in front of me three lights in a row today. A bit rude if you ask me, so I figure he wanted something. I pull up to the next light on his right, we're the first cars as it just so happens. There are a row of parked cars about 60 feet away, I'm thinking "I don't know about this Zach, maybe you should just turn right." But then I realize I brought it up to 2200 and its already green so I slam it and sit there spinning....bad. I manage to jump so fast that the tray that 67's have for the ashtrays and lighter flips down. Im gaining, but now those parked cars are coming up fast, no choice but to cut him off VERY close. I felt like the biggest jerk ever, said I was sorry for that at the next light. Im never doing anything like that again! Or at least I'll buy some much much much stickier tires. Im still shaking.
