[4bangen]

My 143 CI will never be anywhere near that fast.(sad) That bitch was moving for such a small displacement.

[Quadforce]

<-----wood...I haz it!

seemed to have that baby geared perfect.. what size would make a 272 CI ?

around a four and a half liter motor?

too lazy to do math, but a 4.6 is 281, so id assume a 272 is around 4.5

[Mysticcobrakilla]

around a four and a half liter motor?

4.4L to be exact.

[WesB]

I was thinking a bored/stroked 4.3 but it sure didn't sound like a v6.

[Cobraman]

4.4L to be exact.

after checking google, I see 272=4.5.



but no sense in arguing over a tenth of a liter.

[naynay]

seems dumb.. if it's a destroked 4.8l LSX, why? if its a stroked or bored 4.3 V6, why?

[SonicblueGT03]

Probably built to a certain class spec, and, well, it seems to work. So why not?

from bangshift:

Sweet screaming mother of eargasm, this video rules. Not a shocking revelation to say that we loves us some small inch, big RPM small blocks ’round here and this Camaro which is run by Sharp Motorsports in United Manual Transmission Racers events fits the bill. Only 272ci produces enough power to heave the Camaro down Thompson Dragway in 9.39 seconds at a blazing 143-mph. OOGA BOOGA!

The visual is cool because you can see the gauges and watch the Earth go flying by through the windows, but it is the sound, the unmistakable shreik of nearly 10,000 RPM out of a V8 engine, that gives us goosebumps. Oh, note what appears to be a cool, old cable drive tach on the dash as well.

If this video doesn’t make you want to jump into your junk and starting tearing around town, there is something wrong with you.

doesn't seem like it'd be too competitive

[turbostang]

That's a standard issue destroked small block. I was more curious as to what it's in - it says camaro, and judging by that 70's styled flower child steering wheel, I'd say it's a GenI camaro...

Either way, you know that dude was rubbing one out or something - he went 200-400' past the finish line!
