It's still got a 421 in it.



Mr Wangers commentary on the accuracy of the timing:

"When they came up with a 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds, and 0 to 100 in 11.8, I knew it was time for me to shut up and watch. Our red GTO wouldn't have run from 0 to 60 in 11.8 seconds even if it had been dropped off the top of the Empire State Building."
