Our Car was actually a 2005 development car originally built in 2003....and probably destined to be crushed.....and new fascias and grill and hood scoop....and a Shelby motor....and we were there....for a whole bunch less than a new one....and maybe a couple of other modifications.....lol....but the highlight is.....I don't know about you guys....but I like new.......Just sit in one....

...unfortunately our combo isn't under factored enough to get by the under factored Pontiac mounted to a skateboard....lol

One of the closest races I've seen. We were afraid you had an 8 second pass hidden away. Ten more feet and you would have won that one.

It was fun.....a few more feet would have done it.........Bob did a great job....with his car...

Rock, that Pontiac is one I can't see how it got approved. A 428 with round port edlebrock aluminum heads, give me a break. Plus I think it's rated less than a 400 with D port heads.

The 428 Pontiac head deal looks like another case of accepting a product without researching the details. That seems to be happening a lot lately.

The details were all known and due to the fact the Pontiac heads are almost extinct, NHRA decided to offer a option to the minority of Pontiac racers to use. This is no different than the majority of racers who have the after market blocks and heads and I could go on and on about all the major advantages the chevy racers have over the miniority of pontiac racers The bow tie block never came in a chevy from the factory etc .

The 350 thru 455 series real Pontiac engines never came in a Chevrolet. (period)

Corporate, my a**.

I didn't mean to start an anti Pontiac discussion....that motor did look pretty impressive in teardown.....and it is the hot ticket for GT/AA.....and the Cruzen family did a great job with it....He is the fastest one.... great job and a beautiful car....(and great driving)

Pretty competitive Combo.....

I don't think anybody being honest would debate what you posted.
No flies on your Mustang either. Very nice car.
