"The quarter-mile performance was frankly better than we'd expected with this new low-compression version of what had been a high-compression engine. Our e.t.'s averaged 14.7 seconds at speeds of 96 to 97 mph. Not threatening the sound barrier but we have to add one comment: That's the fastest we've ever put a showroom stocker through the traps on regular fuel !" Drag Racing USA February 1971
