Page updated 11/20/99 Periodically I will update these pictures, moving more towards pictures of the fab of the racecar. The pictures on this page were taken October 16, 1999 at the annual San Diego POCI car show at Deerpark, north of Escondido, CA. I purchased the GTO new in 1964. The Tempest was purchased as a hulk in 1992. I got the GTO looking nice enough, and I didn't want to continue breaking transmissions (M-22's), or to install a roll cage in it. So I decided to build another car for racing and leave the GTO strictly for the street. The following is a performance breakdown of the GTO from Geeb's program: 60 ft. 1.68 Instantaneous mph = 50.4 330 ft. 4.49 Instantaneous mph = 79.9 660 ft. 6.96 Instantaneous mph = 102.0, trap speed 100.6 1000 ft. 9.06 Instantaneous mph = 118.5 1320 10.80 129.31 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, 0-100 in 6.7 seconds Jim "Old Man" Taylor |
