Stefano, I seen that the other day on your site, nice car. I'm just saying MY 440 back in 1983 with me being 16 and setting the car up, ran like that. The GT-37 was never set to run, was just a driver that had some b@lls. Nice cars and there seems to be a bit of difference that what I knew about these cars.

[/ QUOTE ] John, 12.60s is still fast for a mostly stock, normally aspirated, street driven car, even today, more so back in the day. I was just trying to clear up some misconceptions and the Monk King, Black Gold T-37 is the perfect example of that which is being discussed. This car was ordered and purchased to be a race car from day one. The most basic Pontiac A-body available,(rubber floor mat/no carpet)(approx 300pds lighter than a GTO) with the most potent Pontiac Engine available,at the time, the 455 HO. It has been told that some of the T-37 455HO cars, going to special customers received special attention and parts, like ported factory heads! |
