My 302 vs. WS6 on freeway

[1965GTO]

If you are racing someone you make it clear what the race is before you do it. The race I was talking about was in 1982 when I was stationed at Hill Air force base, Utah. We were racing for 1/4 mile from a dead stop a true drag race. He had a 68 chevelle with a smallblock and 2-4bbls. on a tunnel ram and his car hooked up well, was also probably geared more for the 1/8 mile. I was driving my 70 chevelle with a 468. I haven't owned a 65 GTO since 1980. The GTO would probably stayed close to the 68 until the eighth and then slowly pulled away, The 70 chevelle blew by like he was sitting still when I went by in 4th gear. HP to Weight equals acceleration if you got traction but then aerodynamic drag takes over at high speed and the bigger horsepower car will pull away.
