When I drove cabs we had normal caprices and one wagon.. The normal sedans were slow as shit, I think they had a 305.. The wagon really hauled ***, no clue what was in it though

And LOL at the kid with the 85 4-500 HP engine. Apparently I got the wrong year. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

That poor Caprice.

still curious why those idiots call it a bubble.

A bubble is a late 50s/early 60s Buick Invicta.

They didn't have a 'b' pillar.

Bubble-top was an option, a long long time ago.

GM stopped making 427's back in the early 70's, who in their right mind would think one of these cars would come out with an engine they'd stopped making at least a decade before your body style was even designed? And 454's? Hmmm maybe some special cop editions had them, but no stock civilian Caprice came out with a 454. The 427 and 454 aren't even the same generation big block, having them in the same car only happened in the transition year. 1972 iirc.

Only someone who has never been around cars/engines would believe a stock 350 with a rebuilt carb is hitting anywhere near 400hp, let alone 500.

I rented a Caprice back in the late 90's that had a 305 in it. While that engine is generally JUNK, I was impressed how quick the car was. It was comparable to me big-blocked cadillac of the time. But even with that, the numbers stated in this thread to bolster Caprice support are just beyond ridiculous. 427's and 454's in them? Stock small blocks making 4-500hp? 4-speeds? lawl Give us some credit for having brains, that shit wont fly here like it does with your local boyz.

You should drive one with an LT1. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I can't wait to re do the gears and do a cam heads swap.

Actually, I have.
Anyone familiar with the online Impala SS community prolly knows about George Debski and his "Cherry Bomb" Impala. He up until a couple years ago when he sold it, had the fastest Impala in the country (documented) while still retaining a stock lower end.

He nitrous'd it, he semi-slicked it, he did alot of tweaks. And he became well known because, being an extremely anal engineer, he documented all his mods, tested everything thoroughly, and published it all in graphic detail.

He was my boss, and a buddy, at the time. I drove with him to the dealership to buy the car. I helped him build some of it. And yes, I drove it. I still prefer my bigblock chevelle. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif He and I never got to race tho. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

and OH MY GOD! Got me speechless for this

It left you speachless and apparently, this artificial photo did its job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

I can tell it is not real and that it is heavily "cleaned up" and altered.
