Post 1/4 Est. for a 73 T/A?

What do you guys think this car would run in the 1/4 just a rough estimate? 73 T/A with a 455 auto in it.

If the car looks like that, who gives a crap. It should be somewhere in the 14's I bet, depends on the tires and such (traction issues). 250 hp, 370 torque, the car should be around mid 14/high 14 maybe. My car has 320 torque stock and 200 hp, add on ehaders and exhaust to that, and I ran low 15's......The car wasn't running great, so I will assume this '73 should be solid 14's.....Nothing very special, they are heavy cars, and emissions were taking their toll by '73.......

Edit: Go here: The SD 455's ran mid 13's........http://www.iwaynet.net/~gl&lisk/1973ta.html

The base models might not have been as potent, so they are around high 13-low 14's, depends on car, and by this point in time, many of these cars sure as hell aren't stock anymore. Either way, that pic and that car kick ***!

1978 Trans Am, will be alive soon, engine being rebuilt.....I'll get out of the 15's someday... http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=225185&page=1
