I blew the doors off of some grand national or something like that last night. It was for fun and from a roll on at about 10-15 mph. i took him by at least 6-8 cars in a matter of 10 seconds. My buddy Jack saw that whole thing from following us in his car and said he could not hear after it was over. We raced in a tunel and it was loud from what i was told....HAHA. Just some late night fun.
Oh, yeah it was in the MR2, I did not have the celica out this year yet.

the 305 is like the 7afe of v8's

No it's not. The 305 car be a great motor. I like them. They're smaller than the classic 350, but everything is almost idintical to it. Most parts are interchangable with them. I would have been really impressed if you beat a Grand National, those are always fast. The Monte Carloes car be really fast, but not so much in stock form. There really isn't a Toyota motor you can compare the 305 too. The closest thing I can compare it to is the 302 Ford, or the 304 AMC. All those motors have huge potential. I've heard that the 305 are better reving motors than the 350s, but I'm not sure if that's true. It doesn't really make sence to me.

Are you kidding? The 305 is absolute garbage; my friend loves Chevy, has an 88 Camaro with a 305, and he'll be the first to admit it. I can take his car in a straight line with my barely modded GT. As for "better revving," the 305 redlines at 5k and is geared super-tall. Of course it doesn't need to rev a lot to generate its massive amounts of torque, but it's still a cruiser motor and not built for straight line speed at all.

And Ford's 302 is in a whole other league; probably the best tuner engine in the world. Saying it's like the 305 is like saying the 7A-FE is like the 2JZ-GTE.

I wouldn't call the 305 absolute garbage. Your friends Camaro must not have the TPI 305 because that would walk a GT (modded or not) hard in a straight line. 100% fact. If it was a TBI or worse carb'd 305, different story. I've seen plenty of TPI 305's running low 13's high 12's without a ton of cash put into them.

I beg to differ about the 302 being the best tuner engine in the world. It used to be, but the new king is the LSx based series (Gen III and IV) GM OHV Pushrod V8. Period.
