I had a white 66 445 hp at rear wheels,750 dual pumper holley isky 3/4 race cam,hooker headers.best race was a69 charger 440 with a 2 six pack,guy was a smart ass,Till I beat him on San Thomas Expwy in Campbell,Ca one Saturday night.Never saw him again.Loved it when the cam was working and it would churp the ties idling thur a parking lot,Lots of looks when it did that.
@bloodopal12 seriously, i own a 66 and basically drove it without any real brakes, it wasnt anywhere near wreckless though, i mean i just didnt have the booster vacuumed. i had the pedal nailed and it wouldnt stop... quickly. if it was a typical kid my age driving, the goat would of smacked something, even worse, someone.
you dont gotta worry about the auto in that thing... its gots, whats called a his and hers shifter, you may drive auto, or pull the shifter right when in drive to have a whole new braket, so you may manually shift through gears, theres a clutch as well....
Gorilla, not unless he switched trannies, it's got a 2-speed powerglide. Turbohydro 3-speed, with or w/out the his n hers, wasn't available on a GTO until '67. No clutch either.
You are absolutely correct, I knew that but always referred to it as a powerglide. They really are not the same, they don't share a part between the two. But the fact remains that you couldn't get a 3-speed auto (turbohydromatic 400) in a Goat until '67. My '67 was a 4-speed and unless I was really paying attention, the autos would almost always get me in a drag race. Had a fairly tall rear though....in my defense, lol.
B-E-A-utiful!!! :)

@Larrysgto ha, i was one of the lucky ones, my 66 has a 67s th400 in it, plus it was a manual origonally, so it has great rear gearing.
