Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
Might need a few updates here, on this non-racing weekend.
Only thing I've got at the moment is this one. 1984 Riviera , 252 Buick V6 4 bbl for V/SA (15.50 index) There have been a few cars with this combo..I think Bob Shaw might have tried one. The engine came in Pontiacs, Buicks, and even Caddys, but the 84 has the biggest cam and carb, and the lowest rating. I think I know how it got that way, but we won't go there ;-) Can someone tell me why this wouldn't be an easy second under combo? What else ?

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
How about a 2007 Cobalt SS supercharged with an automatic transmission...

We'll have to get clearance from Mark on this one though. It used to be no FWD dime rockets.

At one time, I test drove a used HHR SS with that combo. For what it was, it was pretty impressive though with a bunch of torque steer. I chose something else because the thing was such a bucket of bolts. I'd guess it's heavier than a Cobalt so they should be even better. |
