This is Gary Cygan’s 1970 Pontiac GTO and the pictures of this car just don’t do it justice. Gary’s ’70 GTO is powered by a naturally aspirated EFI fed 540 cid Pontiac engine. Another unique feature of this car is that it is one of the few gear box cars on the TOP 10 NA. The attention to detail on this car is second to none. The video below is of Gary running a 7.465 ET at 181.76 mph. While this is not his record setting / best run of 7.413 ET at 182.87 mph we thought you would enjoy seeing this FINE Pontiac flying down the track.
