Like it says. Kid said he had a built 350 in his firebird. Not sure what built means to him.

anyway here you go took place in mexico!

YouTube - Cobalt Vs. Built 350 Firebird.mp4.wmv

 

Good run. It is very much so built. As in it was put together

 

Yea built by Pontiac on the engine assembly line

thanx for posting the vid

 

Yeah the obvious exhaust, I bet that's all that's done to it. He said i won because I have the weight advantage. I think I won because his car is slow and not built

 

Nice kill. idk why people allways say its built and it doesnt even have a cam.

 

This made me LOL at the built part

 

isn't the LS1 a 350?

 

Me too. Haha

This car was carbed, so it wasn't an ls1. However idk the displacement of the ls1.

 

a 350 is a Small Block Chevy (SBC) an LS1 is technically a different motor. I still call them both a 350 but all the LS engine guys get butt hurt when you do that. Which makes sense, it's like calling a Cobalt a Cavalier. The old SBC was around basically unchanged since like 1958 so the LS was a new generation.

OP good run, always nice to beat a guy that thinks he is God's gift to cars.

 

That explains alot... A carb is hard to tune if you don't know what you are doing. He could have had a bad ass motor with a crap carb or poor jetting and it would go as fast as a Reliant Robin. If you have the wrong carb your motor will not run for ****. Too big and you have way too much fuel, to small and not nearly enough.

 

I was thinking the same thing before I saw your post lol

 

Was it a 80s 3rd gen firebird? Or a 4th gen? 3rd gen have no *****.

 

Yeah I figured it wasn't dialed in very good. Either way he claimed his v8 couldn't lose to my slowbalt.

 

HAHA SO!?!?! If he had won would it be because he has the number of cylinders advantage?!?! Hahaha

You could argue that his engine is OVER DOUBLE the size of yours. And that should more than make up for the "light weight advantage"

 

good runs


isnt st louis alittle far from mexico to have a race :LOL:

 

a stock ls1 fbody is faster. lol. poor guy.

 

I think the LS1 displaces 346ci...if anyone cares. Maybe its a built 305 lol.

 

MAybe it was one of the old 2.8liter v-6 with a 2 barrel carb from the shitty 80s birds

 

Was computer generated anyway :-P

Def a v8 couldn't you tell by the sound?

 

From the headlights looking popped up, I'm assuming that was a third gen f-body. Limp wristed, and really he should reconsider what "built" means!

I had a second gen Camaro with a "built" 350 - this one honestly built up, with polished/ported heads, Edelbrock intake and Stage 1 (performance modded) Q-jet, and Crane cam, and it was lucky to make 350-360 hp. I doubt he had much chance, even if he had a "built" one in his third-gen.

He better go home and get a stroker kit for his small block, and a crying towel for his pride.

 

It was a joke my boy... It sounded like a V-8 but it performed like a lawn mower.

 

Close race, LOL.

 

lol true

I know, I told you it was a good race!

 

tee hee hee! And +1 for you

 

How did you only get 350hp from a built 350? Modest budget 350's are easily capable of 400+
