Very slow. A 5.0 with the AOD is going to be somewhere in the area of a high 15 second car. Your sixxer would be able to take one.

OP: It should be a good race. Your exhaust work should help you out a little. Yank the air silencer (probably already have,) and bump the timing a few degrees, if you want to squeeze as much as you can out of it.

my brother's old 87 LX once ran a 14.10. Go from that. If you race, make sure and race only on the street where it is safe

What an oxymoron....Fast and Fox GT in the same sentence...weird.

Oh yea, as far as the race, I vote that the grass will grow a 1/4" before the race is over, thusly, making it the fastest of the three.

Well, the days are getting shorter. So the grass not being in direct sunlight for the longer summer duration may have an effect on how quickly the grass actually grows.
I'm going to pass on the grass OHH!!! and vote on this Wicked sweet Mach 3 vacuum sitting next to me. It's cyclonic afterall
