Boy, that thing needed some drag radials or ET street bad. It would have been nice if they would have shown some 1/4 times.

It ran in the 13's. With a bleeder valve you could go 12's.

I belive that video was from the Popular Mechanics test. I have that magazine at the house.

In 1989 I drove my friends GNX to a 13.1@106 and all it had was a filter. Later that day I unbolted the cat,installed a bleeder valve and used a paperclip in the aldl and it went 12.9@111 with him driving.He couldn't drive to save his life.

That car was so bad ***.When you drove down the highway you felt like the king and everybody would drool over that car.It was number 327.
