Speaking in terms of drag racing since that's what these cars were intended for, the 68 ram air II's are the best total package out of all the pontiacs out there.
67-68 birds are the lightest of the bunch so that's a huge advantage. Again look no further than the pure stock drags and you'll see a handfull of 68 round port birds running. Jim Mino was the first to bring this to light in the 80's when he was cleaning house at the muscle car drags against all comers. When Pure Stock was born a short time later these little birds quickly became the car to beat. It's HP to weight ratio is very good.
They are consistently the quickest pontiacs at the Pure Stock drags hands down and easily run with any of the big dogs that have a 50+ cubic inch advantage.
