"drools" !!! A car i can only dream about :-\
Nice,I had a charcoal gray Formula I transplanted a old T/A 400 into it, med/large Crane cam,headers,Edelbrock med. rise manifold(single plain that I put a divider in),750 Holley (vac sec.),full stainless exhaust behind the headers,stock gray "snow flake" wheels,B&M dual mode ratchet shifter,fat BFG rubber,front leather bucket seats from Chrysler Turbo Z if I remember correctly etc. Scored a 3.73 posi from a Camaro. Ran pretty strong,but always had cooling problems with it even though I had a rebuilt four core truck radiator and two electric fans in it.
Really liked the way it drove,seemed to drive and handle better than a Camaro and much better than the fox body Mustang I had before it.
Best I could ever get out of it in the 1/8th was 9.34,don't remember the trap speed. Most stock 'birds & Zs would run about 9.90-10.10 and 9.60-9.80 with a chip,exhaust so I at least covered most of those. Mustangs were a different story. Friend of mine had a LX 5.0,chip,exhaust,pulleys etc. that ran consistent 9.15-9.20s all day long. My car at over 3,600lbs was never going to match that even though I'm sure I had more grunt.
