Can you imagine back when that car was new, predicting that one of them would get into the 6s in street trim?

i remember when it was a big deal that fuel cars were regularly in the 6 sec range. Imagine taking that Nova back in time and running against the old fuel cars. Sure would open some eyes

Yep, I crewed on a long wheel base BBC FED in '68 out in the Seattle area and it ran right around those numbers. A 12 sec. street car was considered pretty darn quick.
