LT1 Nova

That was the thing about most them, they were just about all available with only 4 speeds. That takes many out of the equation, since many people won't race a stick shift, kind of like it is self policing.
But back "then" GM was offically out of the factory thing to make race cars legal. There were no Chevelles to run at Daytona like there Ford Talledgas or Plymoth Super Birds. No LS7s like there were Boss 429s or race HEMIs. Yet we all scrutinize GM cars to the same standards as the factories that really were involved in racing.
