1966 Ford Fairlane GTA vs 1974 Firebird 455 - PURE STOCK DRAG RACE
1966 Ford Fairlane GTA 390 vs 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455 - Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race (Factory Stock Drag Race, FAST Drag Racing)
Our first car is a 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula with a 455. Sure, this is a smog era car, but it's got a few tricks up its sleeve. See the "FAST" tag on it? Watch the video to learn more. The other car is a real beauty! It's a 1966 Ford Fairlane GTA with a 390 V8. 1966 was also the first year for the C6 automatic transmission, which just happens to be what's moving the power in that Ford. The 1974 Firebird has a TH400 (turbo 400) 3-speed automatic. Both great cars! Who's going to win in this race?
Remember, the Fairlane participates in Factory Stock class through F.A.S.T drag racing, while the Firebird is actually in the FAST class. Make sure you visit their website. https://www.fastdrags.com
