Someone needs to GET TO THE TRACK.....and pay atention.

Novas usually are fast cause of there weight.

A guy named Gary Hollifield that I know has a Nova that ways about 2500 lbs and runs a 12.6 @110 @3000ft with a mildly built 327 with good gearing and an auto with a 5000 stall.

So in other words this guy would probably beat SKYMAN motor to motor @sealevel.

There is a reason why nearly ever Nova ever made is now a drag car. They are light and a Chevy V8 drops right in there.

Many, Many a 10 second Nova over here.

Skymans car is sweet and really fast but please dont think a 12.54 is invincable.

IMO, blanket statements are always stupid.
