People think Mopar is slow??

I was the only one running a Mopar out of my friends in high school. My bud Jared had an 86 S-10 with a 355: Performer RPM, Lunati .480 cam, holley 750, ported heads, 10:1, 4:10 gears, TCI trans and 3000 stall converter. Cousin Brandon-81 z-28 camaro...multiple small blocks(5 exactly) (they would blow up after a few thousand miles due to not checking bearing tolerances, etc.) And a kid (last name Schmitz) with a 67 pro-street Chevelle with cage, 31x17x15's and a "pro built" 327.
Needless to say, with my 71 Swinger 318 I destroyed the Chevelle (like 10 car lengths) my cousin's camaro was never running long enough for me to even race, and my buds s10 only ran 14's due to traction problems!! None of them ever gave me any slack about the Mopar :)
As a matter of fact the S10 was no longer running after graduation and he sold it, my cuz sold his camaro and I think the kid sold his Chevelle!! I put 28,000mi of daily driving and weekends at the drag strip for the next 2 years after graduating H.S.!!LOL Ended up breaking a ring in number 8 but it still ran!! Sold the car a few years later. :(
