Very nice, what did they run?
The Camaro would run high 9's low 10's on the bottle, never really got a good run on the bottle. It wouldn't hold a head gasket in it. Too much compression and nitros. It would run high 10's off the bottle.

The Cutlass was just a low 13 second driver with AC, cruise, etc.

Both were small block cars...the Camaro just had more work done to the motor.

Talk about old muscle cars ... I saw a nice one on the Discover Channel this week. It was a restored 1966 Olds Toronado owned by Jay Leno. Basically stock looking on the outside and most of the interior ... but beefed up drivetrain. Twin turbo 425 inch V8, with 1070 hp. Pretty sharp - and damn fast for something that weighs 2 tons!

I caught that a while ago, amazing how fast that car is. Jay Leno is my heroe, he's got a nasty car collection and motorcycle collection to boot.
