Royal Pontiac, a dealer in Michigan, has one of the few Tri-Powered G.T.O. coupes in the country set up for the drags. With a new Goodyear Super/Stock tire (soon to be released) on the rear wheels, the Tri-Power G.T.O. turned 107 mph in the quarter with an ET of 13.29. Zero to 60 mph averaged 5.7 seconds on this car, so it does have lots of potential for the performance-minded Tempest fan.

The car offered good traction when the power was fed in with a light foot, but in first or 2nd, it'd break loose quickly regardless of the surface when provoked, even with four passengers aboard on dry pavement.

"Cautious cornering was necessary, however, because a quick punch at the accelerator in any gear except fourth would break the rear wheels loose and send the back end of the car into a drift."

I hate that when that happens in my Accord. 😉

I have said it a thousand times: things were different back then. The big 3 gave you the basics and it was up to you to take advantage of it.

Now where is that review of a 1963 413 Max Wedge stage IV?
