Hot Rod magazine did a multi-page write-up on the two cars, examining which would do it first and why. Turns out it was neither - Mike Snivley did it first. Don Prudhomme, however, did manage the first five second Funny Car run.

Seattle International Raceway, 1976. They lined 'em up down the whole track and fired 'em up all at once. Pretty freekin' awesome:

Other than the oil use, the other specs seem impressive and like it would have been a fun little car. It's a good looking little thing.

I'd like to drive one
