It is that thing about short term memory loss...LOL I actually slowed the car down from its peck....
I made it more the way it was for 1971 Popular Hot Rodding article it the claim was 11.68. I put all the striped out interior back in the car, including the back seat, heater, radio and wiper system. I made it legal for the street. I took the NOX out of the car too. There is no roll cage, external on/off switch, an few other item they now want for safety....
I took it Milan Drag for the Pontiac Enthusiast article in 2006 and backed off several feet from the finish line, the car felt very strong. I coasted to 11.51 at 119 MPH. How luckly was I with a 11.49 break point...
The potential for 10's is there....
John Politzer, the original driver of the Blackbird in the old days, was following me as I drove the Blackbird to the Woodward Dream Cruise and to our paking area at 6:45 AM on Woodward. I did our Michigan left turn, you loop around a center island, as I got staightend out I nailed it. The car leaped and I hit second at 6,500 and the car leaped harder. Than I backed down to park at the display. John pulled in with his car came over and was smiling ear to ear. Now that brings back memories.
