Watched the three episodes last night: Muscle Car Shootout, Small Block Shootout, and the Corvette racer one.

1. Why no W31 or L79 Corvette in the small block shootout? They're the only ones that have broken into the 12's in Pure Stock

2, Why no Corvettes in either shootout?

3. Why did the white Buick have headers on it?

4. What did they reuse from the original burned out Corvette?

5. Why did the Hurst Olds have manual steering?

it was pretty bad when only one of the "Small Block Putzout" cars broke into the 14's..especially with those reel kool Hot Wheels bling bling rims and tires...

I felt like King King when I was those quarter mile times.


and I thought Peter Klutz was going to cry when the T/A finished 3rd overall.....

I love seeing the cars, but more time on the cars and less time in the White Ford Bronco with OJ would make for better veiwing........


Dave, Benoit has a LT-1, I think the fastest the L-79 has run is 13.11 a long time ago

LT-1, LT-2, LT-3 whatever it takes..............

Something makes me think a 66 Nova with an L79 would get very close to the high 12's if not within. Wasn't that a 327-365?

Dream Car Garage had 2 segments on last night.
1) Small block, Pony Cars, looking from a Trans Am perspective, 305 CID Maximum Displacement.
2) SUPER CARS
Legendary had cars they had done, and were comparing them, in Handling, 0-60, 1/4 Mile etc. Quite interesting.
GS Stage1 finished 3rd.
Boss 429 Mustang
Chevelle LS6
GS.
NOW BEFORE the Flaming Starts!
GS was the ONLY Convertible
Both Chevelle & GS were Automatics VS 4 Spd Mustang.
Cars were "Supposedly" All fully restored to "As Factory Equipped" Restorations. All had Posis, and optional equipment was not standardized.
BUICK was the ONLY one I saw make a GOOD 1-2 Shift of the Automatics, barking 2nd slightly, then grabbing.
Unfortunately, very little time talking about the Buick compared to the Hurst/Olds, Mustang & Chevelle.
Hemi Challenger got More Coverage, but was based more on how car had POOR Showing, due to eating the Clutch.

I'm not qualified to answer all your questions Dave, but I will offer my opinion on some of them!

1. Not "cool" enough. I thought those two would ~wet~ themselves over "PLUM CRAZY". Gadzooks! The world's most overused Mopar color!

2. Corvettes are "sportscars" not "musclecars". I can hear Wayne, Hodges, Ken Reibel, the Richards brothers, and Donny running to thier keyboards now!

3. I didn't know that one had headers. Hmmm. Stock? Maybe they allowed the headers to compensate for the added weight of the convertible top?

4. The VIN tag.

5. Obviously a weight saving decision on the part of the owner to help pare down that Olds to a svelte 5200lbs.

Default 68 Hurst - manual steering

Hello all (especially Dave),
(Edit - I don't know if the above is about a 68 hurst but below is interesting info anyway.)
My friend's (formerly my) 68 Hurst/Olds came from the factory, by everything we could tell, with manual steering. Just about every other 68 Hurst I have ever looked at had power steering. Why? In the case of my former car, it was ordered by a dealer in Chaska MN who was on shaky ground, business-wise. They ordered the car probably with the purpose of getting in some foot traffic into their showroom but also with the think of, "Don't order too much on it - the cheaper the easier to sell." So, the car was ordered only with AM radio, the Hurst options, PA1 wheel covers (ugly) and tinted windshield. No sport wheel and no tach/gages. The dealer went belly-up later in 68 and most or all of the inventory was bought up by a Ford dealer. The car was sold with 12 miles on it in March of 69'.

Hi Joe, where you been hiding?

I just couldn't believe anybody would order a Hurst with manual steering. I converted my Ramrod from the power steering that it came with to manual and is at the top of the list to convert it back next year.

Default Good Questions

And I thought the same, as far as the Buick, I kept looking at underneath that car, and thinking it looks like it had headers on it too! Only thing, I can think of is, they thought it made it faster too, since is was the only convt. heavier than anything else they ran.
Here that GS was once for sale! Must have been sold since....
