So is it safe to say that these cars when new had this kind of HP with a set of headers bolted to them?
Very impressive!!
I had always heard that the 69 Z's were just as fast when geared properly.

Never saw a street Z that was faster then high 12s.Most needed a big cam to go that fast.I got tired of running them with my L78.Of course they were never intended to be drag cars.

Nope! Maybe with a plug wire pulled off they were.
