We originally #built this car with Frank Urbinati #back in 1996.It debuted at the GS Nationals where it won the GS Pro Street class races. It was also the 1st GS Pro Street class car to break into the 9's at the time.Thanks to Frank this project came to life. Fast forward to 2010 and the car has been taken over by Bob Ortolani,the car still looks great and Bob decided to bring it up another level. We were happy to have the car come back to our shop and to have #BobOrtolani #FrankUrbinati #fuel

Man I miss those days!!!
There are no losers in that bunch.
top end torque on that Roadrunner when it looked like the roadrunner had no chance
Yep,it ain’t necessarily how you start but how you finish that is the deciding factor!
Most of the time I would not take the hole shot, I would win with top end power and torque. That’s what my car set up was. 1970 plum crazy purple 440 3 speed. It was easy to shave 150 200 lbs.
Hemi!!!! GTX All the way!!!!!Badass!!!.
About 125 HP the RR had over the Olds, & the Runner didn’t win by much! I wish the matchups were a “little” bit closer. Put a 390 HP 68-69 H/O up against that Road Runner!
????? The Olds beat the Hemi runner. like I said up above by about 1/10th of a second. RR was 2 mph faster speed wise so it was hauling the 442 in . Hemi was close to stock so not the bestset up for quick 60 foot times ( hemi doesn’t soar until the revs get up. The 72!!!! 442 had a cam and some other work because after 1970 nothing sounded like that in stock condition anymore.
Sorry I read it wrong.
My 427 63 Impala SS that’s who will win! That 442 is a heavy dog and the RR might have a chance but I’ll jump him out of the hole and it’ll be all tail lights! Snatch & Go baby is what’ll make the difference, + my mean ass driving!!

A 72 Olds?????? against a 70 hemi????? In 72 there were no fast cars ciompared to 67-70s. The 70 Olds 442 ( my friend had one) was faster. In 70 in the quarter mile these 2 cars in stock off the showroom condition were within a couple 10ths of each other and that makes driver ability and reaction time more of a deciding factor.
Stock 72 would be a pooch.
440 six pack was quicker than the hemi
