Default 1/4 mile times

Can someone give me an estimate on 1/4 mile times for a C3 with the 427/390?

It all depends on gear ratio and transmission setup...

Well, that does sound good, thanks for the info. I'm new to vettes in general, and have recently been looking for a '94 - '96 C4, but today I ran across a pic of a yellow C3 with sidepipes and thought it looked absolutely sweet. What kind of HP numbers could be had on these engines and with what mods? I don't know much about modding older engines so yall are gonna have to school me on the subject :lurk:

PS How much should I expect to pay for a car like this?
