I had an opportunity to punch off with a beautiful '39 Willys.

I was warmed up and had just picked up Casterdog for the morning hot rod show. I saw the Willys comming up from behind driving a little agressive. We both ended up at a red light. He brought his rpms up to load his stall speed as the light was about to change. We were off at the green light. The Willys let out a big roar but he didn't spin his 16 inch wide drag slicks.

I pulled him a length in first, granny shifted to let him catch up and pulled a few more lengths in second. He shut down at 60.

I felt bad for the guy when I found out he was handicapped. That is correct, handicapped. He didn't have a blower. It was a 540 cubic inch big block but sadly, no blower. Just a basic crate motor.




I'm so bad.

 

bully

 

I hate to ask, cause im sure you get this a lot sidewayz, but how much power are you actually putting down?? Do you have a stock differencial?? Sorry for the slight hijack. (your a celeb)

 

after all it was going to the "show" right?

good kill~

 

The last dyno was 469 rwhp at 8700 rpm when I had to shut it down. It's running 9500 rpm now so when I go back to the dyno I expect to see more than 469 rwhp.

I'm currently running my original stock '00 rear end with about 15,000 miles on it.

 

stock rear end....props for having some major balls i have the older impreza rear end on my car, and my motor makes 255whp at best and i'm already paranoid as hell lol

good kill, as usual.

 

You can run the stock rear all day as long as you're only racing from a roll and plan on pulling a 2.0+ 60' all the time.

 

All I can say is... WOW!

 

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a 39 Willys?

 

Nice kill again Have you ever been surprised and been beaten and if so by what?
