Funny, I've been travelling the tracks for YEARS now. Toured the IHRA nation circuit for a few years. Never was really impressed with a Cobra in the 1/4 actually.

As for Jerry's car, yes that's fast and all, with the same dedication AND some aftermarket parts such as these dealers used, that little SB of his would get left behind, that's all as these dealer mods don't need to be factory stock stuff. Put that same detail and energy Jerry put into the Z28 and transfer that to Suydam's ZLX tunnelramed BB, not sure it would compare..

Just looking for the quickest cars around say up to 75/76 era? Motion were guaranteed a 10 sec. slip? Could anything really run with them with factory or other "dealer installed" parts/stuff? I've heard there was 1 454 Motion Vega, but what if Motion did the full Phase III ZLX treatment to a Vega!
