PSJohn, no mods, but fully dialed-in suspensions and the mechanicals like engine and trans are fully blueprinted and balanced.

Strange, I heard about Owen and the COPO '70 Nova, LT1 350 car with factory traction bars. I actually LOOKED at the car when it was for sale and the owner claimed it was a "COPO 1970 NOVA LT1 350, 1 of 2 sold in London, ON". Strange how much slower that car is on the list then his Yenko?

Race cars are Race cars, " fully dialed in" thats the difference between stock and a race car sorry, tires are softened, shocks are modified, spring rates are monkeyed with,
torque converters are restalled exhaust manifolds are reconfigured,
I've raced for years, a car with stock appearing tires and no headers is still a race car.
