I just love the look of a black chrome bumper with side pipes-- definitely a looker. Can a stock car do this, or would this car have to be souped up a little? I know there's no way my '69 350/350 with a 3.36 rear could spin the tires like that.

Your car would be abel to do that too. If you noticed he could not keep the tires spinning the whole time. It would start to slide then hook up. Some of the squealing was the tires pushing like the last time he almost went into th grass becasue they wouldn't break loose. Nice looking Vert though don't think i would be doing to many burnouts like that if it was mine but still cool

According to this link, you could get 3.36, 3.55, 3.70, or 4.11 depending on which 4 speed you wanted. I guess the 3.36 is nice for cruising, but I imagine a higher ratio is much better for spinning the tires like in the video.

By the way-- love the look of your car Sacredgrooves. Even though mine has original Monza red color and rally wheels--- your photo makes me want to paint mine black and get some chrome rims and chrome side vent inserts. Mine's a vert and I think that look would just be killer.
