Just as a side note, you early Pontiac performance owners- you don't know what you are missing by not participating in the drag race program. It is soooo much more fun than just sitting around in the car show all day long. I've heard all the arguments about scared of hurting the original components, the car is TOO nice to race, etc. but those just don't hold water. We race our 65 GTO with the original engine and rear end. Check out Jim Mino's early Firebird. It's in concours condition and he's out there thrashing it in the Pure Stock races running low 12's and high 11's. And there are many, many others. These cars were made to run hard.
