Sounded like he had some steep gearing.
If 8Ball could get rear wheel like traction, it would be able to pull that time.

I was wondering why the MPH was so low on it. But the RWD explains it all. That is still a VERY respectable time for a 3.8.

Truth be told, 8-Ball is probably making more power than that thing.
Something to be said for RWD, steep gearing, small/wide tires, and a weight advantage.
GM is STUPID for not bringing them here.

Sweetness, That would be a nice car to have if it was left hand drive; even though I can I've ever seen the interior on one.

IMO they were smart not to.

They tried it with the GTO, taking the Holden Monaro which had a great rep in Aus. and then bringing it here to make it uglier and flop.
