I couldn't get the link to work, but if my memory is correct, that link goes to the article about CopoPete's 3 COPO cars. It seems like his Nova was in the low 13s on the Polyglass, and broke into the 12s on drag radials. This seems pretty consistent with a good running LT-1 Nova. The '70 LT-1 cars were pretty much a preview of things to come, with that being the new LT-1/LS-1 cars, which are also legit low-mid 13 second cars.

So, Pete:

When is that silver pretty of yours gonna come out and play again? It would be neat to see a legit pure stock small block car break into the 12s...
