Turbo'd s.b. chev...in a 69 Camaro? maybe?

[Todd....!!]

I've seen that in REAL LIFE!

Anyone ever watch a Grand National(GN) try and run any sort of a tight
road coarse....

By the time the boost kicks in after floorin it whilst coming out of a
turn, the next turn is at hand!, a LOT of noise n smoke, but a puny lil
Mig-yata and/or MG beats the powerful beast in the course!

I thought all GN's were posi's, this one musta been a limited slip or
somethin...

LATER!,

Todd....
