As in fastest to slowest in just the 1970 model year? If we're just talking 1970 GTO's, then the pecking order from highest to lowest would be RAIV, 455 H.O., 400 HO (RAIII), then the 400.

On the all time GTO list, I would say the 69 RAIV 4-speed, 70 RAIV 4-speed, 67 XS Ram Air 4-speed, 71/72 455 H.O., 66 GTO tri-power 4-speed.

As for slowest all-time Goat, the rare 67-69 GTO with the 2-barrel option would probably top the list, followed by the 74 GTO, 73 GTO 400, and the 64 GTO 389 4-barrel with the 2-speed auto. Of course, certain non-performance option combos may trump some of the above.

Worst combo would have to be a loaded 68 GTO convertible, with a/c, p/w, etc., with the 2-barrel option, 2.93 non-posi, and the rare chrome bumper nose. Make mine light yellow with a white top. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

For all I know that could be a pic of your very intake, can't imagine there were many made of that. Is it possible?

StealthBird "In truth, both the engineers and DeLorean felt the 400 RAIV was enough"

Yes I have heard this story as well, and they did get unfortunately sidetracked with the RAV

The best combo GTO is the one parked in your garage.
The worst combo is the GTO parked in someone else's garage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

I disagree that the RAIII is slower than the '70 455.

You also forgot the RAII in the equation. There are some who still believe it is faster than the RAIV.
