An 80's Olds 307 with low comp heads and 2.14:1 will do that too, just takes more road!

We'll have to ask the bunny to know for sure! I think I've seen pics of Transomstand using one as a tow pig!

Cant find the article back but, some time in 69 or 70 a Sheriff got the call to catch a pair a robbers making a getaway in fast Camaro down the interstate. Two cops jumped in the plane , the other three in the Police Interceptor Delta. After a few min in the air the plane radios the car that they can't keep up! The Delta was out running the plane, the estimated the speed to be 155 160 mph. It wasn't to long and the Camaro was stopped. That story was in Hemmings .

Maybe not the 455 power, but the Lightnin' Rods were awesome! This is what I wanted when I was a kid...
