I think the Daytona would be faster due to the aero and most definitely safer. Besides that the cool factor would be off the chart.




Myself, I'm into the smaller cars... would love to see
it done with the G body Daytona... just have to be
efficient with the packaging... plus it could use the
extended body for a longer wheel base

I don't know if a powerglide would hold up to the 2000 HP but with a 3.23 gear and a 32" tall tire you would be turning 2500 at 73.71 mph. The 3.23 gear will put the car through the lights at 6800+ rpm. That would be with no overdrive. Just some food for thought.




There are 'glides out there that will handle 2000 HP easy, Mike's Ultimate Glide series is just one vendor.

Larson's Nova is, plain and simple BADDD-Azzzzz!! Not just for his drag week exploits. How about a guy DRIVING his car to an NHRA National Event and qualifying for COMP eliminator...and then driving it home!!
Unreal...
