I can recall one that was a 396 / manual trans way back in the late '60's. It tended to spin the tires more than others and liked to leave the line more sideways than most...

This was on 7" slicks and starting lines were asphalt....

Mark Faul has one. He has won many of races with it as well as a divisional champ in it I believe.

Larry Hodge ran one and I believe it went to the Ficklers, not sure if they still have it.

If I`m not mistaken,that`s the same vehicle Stan Hawes won Stock with at the World Finals in 2000.
