Match Race 1972 ~ 'Road Runner/GTX 440' vs. 'Buick GS 455'

I like the BOP 455's, even the low compression one's. But, if the GS is a auto/3.42 against the GTX with the 4spd/3.54, and I'm driving :D, I'd take the GTX. The 4spd gear spreads would give me much better control over the power band available with these type engines.

Would be a he!! of a race though.

My virtual race, in my head...:D.

Both cars leave soft to avoid blowing the tires off. Side by side, i shift a hair early, and when the GSX shifts, i'm in the meat of 2nd gear and gain a car length. I take 2nd & 3rd a little high, and the Buick never catches me...

I've beaten a lot of cars on the street I shouldn't have. Thinking about this is like a 35yr flashback to those days.....Just havin some fun guys...lol.
