Yeah, pretty much when you match it to a 4:11 rear end.... hell, even without a 454 it would be a good hole-shot machine. Add the crazy torque in even on a mild 454... its just fun.

Yea my first truck was a stock 98 chevy 1 ton with the 454.. It was very good of the line but would lose its self a few hundred feet down the road.

I'd have showed him how good mine corners making the first turn away from him...

My HHR 2.4 auto will beat my truck in quickness up till about 50 or so, but after that its all Small Block power.
C20
350 vin M
With the few mod to it, est 400 HP and around 500 ft-toqure
4.10 rear
THM-350 trans
5000 pounds with me in it
The truck is still pretty quick out of the hole, the HHR may get half a length on it, but thats it.

I would have had to put my 454 in 4wd. If it is any consolation he probably burned about 5times as much fuel as you did.
