Quote: "I believe Cars magazine had a road test of a ’72 lemans GT with the L78 400, M-20 4-speed trans and a 3.55 Safety Track rear end and they got it down to 14.40’s at 99 mph in quarter mile tests. Now surely they could be exaggerated times, or a super-tuned example, who knows."

Here is the article from the SS&DI March 1972 issue...14.37 at 98.04 mph!
