Funny thing happened at Speedworld yesterday. I took my 67 LeMans street car just to do a test and tune session. I pulled in the staging lanes and what do I see next to me? A 2004 GTO with an automatic. I thought this would be fun since my 67 runs 13's and I thought it would be a close race. The guy had just bought the car the day before and had 120 miles on it. He said that they just hit the show rooms a few days ago here in Phoenix. Well the announcer in the tower made a point of the old and new etc. Any how My car ran a 13.63 not impressive but fast enough to smoke the new GTO. Here are his numbers right off my time slip.
RT .960, guess he was reading the news paper at the light
60' 2.716
1/8 mile ET 9.884
1/8 mile MPH 77.758
1/4 mile ET 14.953
1/4 mile MPH 97.873

The guy was so embaressed that he left and was no where to be seen after the run. In fact I was even embaressed since it was a Pontiac and all.
