Re: Muscle car shootout on TV.....
Bruno...I'm gonna guess that's your green Poncho? And if so, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it smoked the others in the drag strip portion of the event?
 They shoulda hollered at Pete and got a COPO Camaro to at least keep 'em honest...

Re: Muscle car shootout on TV.....
The shot of Suydams Yenko Nova doing the smokey burnout followed up with a "power slide" is just too cool.
Can't wait to see this episode! BA

Re: Muscle car shootout on TV.....
In themselves the cars are great. Smokey burnouts prove nothing. Any of these cars can do them at will. Four wheels locked up while stopping only proves that the brakes are better than the tires. Ours are nothing cars and I still wouldn't want some clown beating on them to prove nothing. I can hardly believe that the owners would let these guys do this to the cars. Do TV shows really have to do this kind of stuff to attract an audience?
Bruno, I had a '68 Ram Air Firebird that was set up by London Motor Products in London. They installed the full Royal Bobcat Kit along with a lot of other modifications. Ran pretty well and I didn't care whether it was a Royal car or not. I was just satisfied with the way it could put a long face on the Chevy guys' faces.

Re: Muscle car shootout on TV.....
Hey Keith,
Was that a ramair II firebird? I think it might be THE quickest pontiac from that era. As far as the upcoming show goes,I know it doesn't prove anything but are those burnouts cool or what? I raced my car all year and all I did was change the oil.The bias ply tires are a great shock absorber for the drivetrain.I don't think Peter could have beat on it any harder than I did...........but then again....I wasn't allowed to watch either.
