For the 421 Catalina vs Ferrari V12 Test - Car and Driver asked both parties to send their prepared cars ( Car and Driver supplied the Drivers ) - the Catalina was from Royal Pontiac - it was all in print for everyone to read not hiding anything- sales shot up for Catalina after that test 0-60 3.9 sec. for the 421 Pontiac 0-60 6.3 for the Ferrari V12 . Also if you bought that car from Royal Pontiac they could prepare it for you to run identical numbers with the 421HO 376 HP Engine - Here's another Legendary car from Royal Pontiac - 63 SD-421 Catalina
