If that L69 is in any sort of decent tune, youll beat the TPI. The L69 auto cars had 3.42's as a standard rear gear, with 3.73's being optional. That, combing with the top end power of the L69.....youll beat him. The H.O. 5-speed cars would run a VERY low 15, if not break into the 14's. The autos wan mid to low 15's.

3.73s were optional with the auto...i got one...otherwise you'd have 3.42s...the 5spd cars always got 3.73s

It may be a silly race but racing at track is proper way of not killing anyone because you are driving like a idiot on the street

Gimme a break! O and if your punk A$$ runs into somone like my wife who's expecting,Because you and your friends thought that it would be cool to street race YOUR 15sec Car!

Watch out for an L69 with 3:73 gears. The combination of carburator, and good gears is hard to beat. My car was all original 54,000 mile car when I bought it. The first time I took it the track with just gutted cat and underdrive pulley it went 14.55 @ 95 mph.
