[QUOTE="db-2, post: 318068, member: 4743"] lbrandt: Yes, a w30 Olds would stay with the best of them. Glad i grew up during those times. Can not imagine how an electric car can have the same sound coming out of the exhaust of a high performance motor with a wild cam. My dad, in 57 had an 98 Olds with the j2 motor (3/2 barrels) and in 59 it did beat the king in town being a 348 Chevy with the 3 2 barrels. You must of had a rear end around 3.90 or 4.10 for your lower top end. Many of times with my 2.92 Fury rear end when they hit around 110 the car in front of me (yes it was not that fast from stop sign to stop sign) their brake lights would come on and i guess they assume it was the end of the race. RPM on my Fury was around mid 3000 at that speed and i was just starting to get going. At 4200 rpm the speedometer was peg. Those times were great with the cars we had, the old mill and the [B]kind of women[/B] running with us at that time. Not sure which was the greatest. Great memories. Feel sorry for the young boys now days. fj40, looks in fine condition. Will try and find a picture of mine that i still have. 77 Saloon with a manual 5 speed. Old man's car as far as speed goes. But then my 97 Cummins 2500, five speed, 4;10 gears has not lost to a Ford or Chevy. That is pulling. Snow, i envy your Dodge. db [/QUOTE]
