Re: Back in the day magazine 1/4 mile tests
----At 12.80 the 66 425 horse Corvette with the traveling gears is a serious bad boy. My 66 425 that I bought new with 3.70s (not 3,36s) and only welded on dumps would ET in the low 13.00s on the original goldlines. I could never get it to hook at the young age of 20! Had slicks on only once and they were to tall (went thru the traps as I was hitting 4th), but still pulled it down 2 tenths (my memory says 12.94). I got scared that I would either twist off a halfshaft or seriously damage something else so quit the slicks while I was ahead.......Bill S
