Yeah,
Mike Peasarchick has a 455 buick stuffed in his 87 Trans Am. It even has air conditioning. The car was at Beaver Springs Dragway this past Friday night.
Mike was running low 12's. I think I remember a 12.10 ET pass.
There were over a 110+ cars running that evening and announcing pass after pass makes it hard to remember specifically any one particular car, but Mikes is a clone to my 87 T/A on the outside, except his car has a ram air style hood, where as mine is the stock hood. His car sports the awesome 455 Buick engine and mine is the stock TPI fuely motor. Beside one another at the track, they create quite a stir.
