Who would win. Nova or GN

[GNJesse]

My buddy wants to race me for some money in the spring. He has a 64 Nova that will be in the low 14's high 13's. I have a mid to low 11 second GN. He wants a 4 second head start then I'd hit it. He wants me on street tires but I want to run slicks. Who do you think would win if he got the 4 sec. head start?

Boy, thats some pretty simple math! He'd dust you man. Better bet is to give him the jump or a few car lengths. But if he runs 14 flat to your 11 flat even thats only 3 seconds difference. A 2 second handicap sounds fair.

This is a no brainer.
If he can do 13.9 then you have to be able to do 9.8 or quicker to win, if you give him a 4 sec advantage.
According to you, your car is a mid to low 11.

What's the point? What is he trying to prove by throwing multiple disadvantages to you..that he can beat you in an unfair fight.

At least he didn't ask you to run him in reverse. Silly and a waste of your time IMO. Tell him to put a real motor in his car and then talk to you.

Tell him to get a real car like u got with some balls then run you..

 

[vicious6]

What a joke!!! I would tell him the same. If he needs a jump, he needs to go pick on something more his size!

Ditto. Tell him to go race a Honda.

wait, does this thing have an SBC in it?? if so, only high 13s at best!?! youve gotta be kidding me, sbc's are retard motors, a retard can make one run better than that

take my sig for instance hehe

That sounds like some import crap to me. Im sure a 64 Nova weighs less than your car and he has two more cylinders than you so he shouldn't get any advantage! Tell him not to bring a knife to a gun fight and if he wants to bracket race they have a class for him to race in.

If it was for fun I MIGHT do it, but for money I am going on full KILL !!

 

[BuickMike]

Ditto. Tell him to go race a Honda.

Better yet, tell him to sell the Nova and buy a Honda. He sounds like a ricer to me.

 

[Drac0nic]

yeah, I agree there's no use racing him under those conditions, it sounds rediculious to me. It's a waste of your gas, tires, wear on your car and it's probably so that he can have bragging rights to have beaten you. If I raced someone and they gave me all those advantages I'd better be hustling them!

 

[AZ Vic]

For money, right?

Tell him sure thing, then give him a car length and blow his doors off!

Then let him know that you were giving him a four second head start for the way back!

In all seriousness... that is a total joke to even ask it of someone. I agree - he does sound like a ricer.

Sure you can...if you throw out the crappy heads, intake, carn, ignition, and cam.

Even the hot LT1 solid lifter motor was only good for low 14's.

I nominate your buddy for "Dumbest challenge ever made" ...

 

[madhat]

tell him its not worth you gas, even if you do get 20 mpg!
and besides that...if its anything like texas, you'll lose your lisense or get thrown in jail for street racing...
