Nice. But not "stock" that car is making at least 450 crank to run that good. What mods are allowed in that class?

PSJohn, no mods, but fully dialed-in suspensions and the mechanicals like engine and trans are fully blueprinted and balanced.

Strange, I heard about Owen and the COPO '70 Nova, LT1 350 car with factory traction bars. I actually LOOKED at the car when it was for sale and the owner claimed it was a "COPO 1970 NOVA LT1 350, 1 of 2 sold in London, ON". Strange how much slower that car is on the list then his Yenko?

Race cars are Race cars, " fully dialed in" thats the difference between stock and a race car sorry, tires are softened, shocks are modified, spring rates are monkeyed with,
torque converters are restalled exhaust manifolds are reconfigured,
I've raced for years, a car with stock appearing tires and no headers is still a race car.

I remember as a teen in the mid to late 70s, a Hot Rod or Car Craft magazine testing stock, as sold from the dealer, muscle cars to see what was the fastest in the 1/4 mile. Of course, who knows what's done internally to some cars but seeing these examples were all under 10 years old, and had to have stock exhaust, stock tires, and appear stock under the hood,......the top dog in that test was an LS6 Chevelle SS with a 13.1 quarter mile.
