In addition to the 5.0, the only options other than the 5.0 were the no-cost 3.08 gears (2.73 standard) and a rear window defroster.
I bought mine mainly because it was the first relatively fast, affordable ($10,225) car Detroit had built since the muscle cars.
Went a 13.95 @ 97 mph stock (very good air), right down to the timing and air cleaner silencer.
Still have it, too.
Sorry for the diversion, just wanted to mention Collison.

Your right! I got a good memory but only on half the facts! LOL! Regardless Brett was (is) awesome in his articles.
There were two quotes in my first post that nobody has addressed yet;
1) "Under the index by 1.041, we logged the furthest under-index in NHRA history!"
2) "it was the first time a front wheel drive vehicle had qualified first in any eliminator in NHRA competition...and with only three weeks to prepare."
Anyone have any comments, are these quotes true?
