"In the day" of 64-65 at Dragway 42 in Ohio I ran a 64 GTO Conv 4 bl 4 sp stock 3.23 on cheater slicks and could get low 15's and when everything went right dip into the high 14's. Didn't go home with a lot of trophies. The guys who were low 14's and high 13's were usually better rear end and more tuning.
One day a guy shows up with a 64 (maybe 65-been a long time) GTO with 3x2 and probably had at least the 3:55 rear when that became stock. Pulled his hub caps with street tires ran high 13 in tuning run, put the hub caps on and left. Never ran a race. Just wanted t know.
