My wife had a 74 Vette with the 4sp when we met. I couldn't believe how slow it was. So when her and her sister went to visit their parents for the week I slipped in a de camed 400 small block out of one of my race cars. It went from 250 hp to 375 hp. Even with the 355 gears, it perked it right up. When my wife got home I told her I gave her Corvette a tune-up and had her take it for a ride. She was very happy with the tune-up even after I told her it had to run on premium gas.

I had a 79 10th Anniversary T/A in high school (1985/6) with a 400/4 speed and 3.23 gears. It ran a best of 14.75 and would always run in the high 14's. The only modifications were true duals, a recurve on the distributor and a rejetting on Q-Jet. I think that would qualify under these rules. I wish I had kept it but I traded it for a brand new 1987 Formula 350. The T/A was a better car.

I have the Trans Am version of this but it's the same car under the hood and inside, just with all the fancy "Look at me package" spoilers and Red Bird on the hood with the shaker scoop. Bone Stock 185hp /310 torque Pontiac 400 only mines the Auto Th350 so no Overdrive gear. But it's still a Pontiac 400 so I'm 99% sure that with a few Quick mods and a budget of $5k The clock can be turned back on that '76 400. Back to say 1970-'71 Era Ram Air 3 Numbers without having to stroke it or bore it out. Like for example, say we re-jet the stock Quadrajet 4-barrel carb, Port the stock 6X heads for Max Flow. and upgrade to screw in studs over pressed in. Port the Intake and swap in a Bigger hydraulic roller cam with a 114-116 LSA, roller lifters, springs, pushrods, roller rockers, and swap in forged flat top pistons to raise compression from 7.6:1 to around 9.4 and forged rods to replace the factory weak cast ones, balance the original crank, 700R4 swap, shorten the driveshaft, re-gear the rear end for 3.73 posi, longtube headers into free flowing true dual exhaust 3" out the back with some Sticky Drag Radials to hook up. That should at least make it as fast as a Stock LT1 4th Gen Firebird right? Good for low 14s or high 13s? in the 1/4 Mile. What am i missing? With Poncho engines, it's all about gaining more Torque than horsepoewer because that's what gets you out of the hole at lower Rpms. Do I have enough to gain 100hp and 150 torque?

I had that same brown Corvette and it never ran this slow. In 74 the l-82 did not have cats on them. This car runs worse than the later 305cid catted vette. Maybe a couple of wires fell off the plugs. But if you look at the races the Corvette ran a faster Mph by a lot every time so the Corvette was not really racing but just following the Pontiac for a leisurely drive. With a cam, headers, Victor Jr and a holly 750 I was beating BB Mopars with my 74 brown l-82. With a SB 400 mated to the 350 crank it went 165MPH with the stock close ratio Munsey stone crusher.

That was a little hard to watch. Both of these cars are faster than anything I've ever owned but still.

Slow but accurate times from cars of that era. Remember 1 thing, about 6 yrs later from when these cars were built, a 15 sec quarter was nearly unheard of from a new US car! So yeah, it got worse before it got better. We're spoiled now days.

If my shit ran a 18sec 1/4th mile. I'd just hard right hand turn and run that pos straight in the ditch !! Leave the keys and call a F'en Uber!! I just bought my 16yr old son a 2014 Subaru Legacy Premium for his 1st car. Stock it has 185hp. Now he has added a cold air intake, the chip, and a better exhaust. With what he has done I think it has just a hair over 200hp. It's Sad to say that his little AWD ricer, would Gap both the Vett and the Firebird. 😒😒 Whoever voted for the engine platform's from 1974 to the mid to late 80s. Needs Will Smith'd !! It took a 3.8L V6 Turbo from "Buick" to wake everyone else TF up !! When the Grand National waxed Every V8 Chevy, Ford, Dodge, and the rest of the world's so called fast cars. My buddy had a 87 G.N. and I witnessed him eat IROCS, Stang GTs, Corvettes for lunch !! Like I said, if my shit was that slow.... Straight In The Ditch !!!

I agree, there wasn't much out there performance wise between the mid -70's to mid 80's, Except maybe for the '74 Formula and Trans Am with the 455SD... those cars no joke! Unfortunately they didn't make very many. The Buick GN was another beast!

Funny thing is, my 2022 Subaru Outback Dad Wagon is capable of running 14.4 quarter mile and 0-60 in 5.8 seconds. With a 4cyl turbo, better than most base muscle engines

Those weight numbers seem awfully high. They are not light cars by any mean but 4000 pounds for a 76 Formula ? No way. These cars are stripped, and this one doesn't even have A/C or a center console. It must be around 3500 pounds, 3750 with driver.

Pooches!! The Vette should be hitting a 15 second 1/4 time. Firebird should be doing low 16's. Both cars need a tune up or a rebuild!!

That is a 1975 Corvette. The 1974 had the split rear end.

If both cars are still running the exhaust through the single very restrictive catalytic converter. I could see those times. The 74 Corvette wouldn't have it and should be closer to what my stock 74 z28 4sp L82 3.73 did there,14.85@ 91mph. Cars and Zebras posted that match up last year. Love the Chanel. Thanks C&Z for your time making these videos.
