In the Race with the GT500 it seemed to me that it was the SS spinning its wheels at start, yes?

Also, the heat with the '68 Camaro was dead even, which is interesting to me now, a N/A 1968 chevy engine displacing 406 probably has much more torque than the 376ci LS3, but lags behind in HP by probably a lot, given stock heads and manifold/carb maybe giving up 80hp, giving and taking for mods.

I just bought a 1968 Firebird for $7500 great shape, and thinking about stroking a 400 pontiac to @461-468, it will probably take the new SS then! maybe not having enough money will end me up with a faster car after mods. sweet.
