The sound of the car is all this video needed..

[randallsavage]

Iron Maiden for the win....great intro tune.

[MrTaylorTexas]

Wow, that's a bad ass Nova! Great video except that I had to mute the crappy music.
What's planting the rear end? Slide a links?

[VORTECPRO]

A NA 375 HP 396 NHRA "stocker" will 60 foot in the high 1.20s just sayin for some reality. My point: when people rely on power adders the finer details of making a car work are usually over looked.

Curious on your front suspension set up in tryptophan wheelie 😂

NICE CAR Thanks for the info on tires. That thing is a heavy chevy! 3, 830lbs! my camaro with cage and BBC is 3380. But crazy fast

[ELKOBRA]

What rear shocks ? I want some shocks that can take having passengers with 275 on my 69 nova

[manuelzavala]

Hi good afternoon.. could you share the front when and tire specs....

[gearjunkie]

Which tire would be better for the street. Radial vs bias ply

[keysautorepair]

1.25 60ft street car all steel leaf springs small tire all motor

[jenniferm]

how did you fit the 28 x 10.5 tire? mini tub?

[ChevelleMafia]

Did u have to lower the 2-Step at all when leaving with the radial or was it able to take it?

[YZFoFittie]

I'm trying to decide this very same thing right now on my 69 Chevelle. This is an automatic car tho right? I'm running a T-56 Magnum...

[mothertree]

would you mind letting us know the ET for this car in the 1/4 or 1/8 if possible, please...thanks jimbo...looks awesome...this may be a nova here in ohio but am not sure thanks again

[charlestappa]

Nice car, I bet the lousy music is responsible for all the thumbs down this video has

[travispfannmuller]

drag radial all the way with an auto imo but that was not an optimal suspension set up for a slick. way too much seperation too fast. That car definitely needs a better shock or at least tighten up the extension a ton

[EvansBrosRacing]

Okay, I searched for the info with fastest street car magazine and it lead me to NMCA stuff . I could not find any article on MT 275 Radial vs 28x10.5 Slick . What was the 60 ft time for each ? and e.t./mph difference ? this is older now so help us out

[poncoolride]

Great video! And excellent music to go with it. The crybabies can go kick rocks. Nice car BTW.
