Pontiac GTO Judge Ram Air IV specs

When I was just out of high school, I drove a 1974 T/A 455 SD. I had minor mods performed, but with good results. It was all stock except a holley carb (800CFM LS6/LS7 performance replacement), headers/exhaust, and recurved/remoduled the distributor. Top speed was clocked at 147mph. Also ran a 7.70 1/8th spinning a third of the way down the track.

@fastestlaps please delete Super8 data

Bogus top speeds throughout this site. A gto just might top 150mph off a cliff. Check the revs in top gear at 60mph, and extrapolate revs needed for 150. Also, part of problem is insufficient torque to turn the gears at that rpm. No wonder comments are years old. People started figuring out how absurd almost all the numbers are. Just commented to see if rational thought gets a response.

One of my high school buddies purchased a 69 RA IV GTO for 1500 dollars around 1973. It had the 4 speed transmission and it was scary fast. I am sure that he realizes now that he should have hung onto it.

Had a new 69 GTO when I was just 19 Great car for the time period Handled better than anything else at the time and yes it was steady on the road at full tilt. Speedo wrapped right around past the bottom quite readily Hard to lock it down off the start in the 1/4 mile

Yikes 150 mph in a 1969 suspension car. That would be very interesting.

Actually some magizines got 1/4 mile times on RAM AIR IV GTO's within low 13's or low 14's. Diffrent sources have diffrent times. Car and Driver I think recorded a 13.2sec on a RAM AIR IV Judge in 1969.

@ Super8: I'm glad you noticed it. ;)

I just realize tat 1969 Ram Air IV is still not added. So, I added it. 1969 Ram Air IV GTO. High Performance Pontiac able to hit 13.9 sec @ 107 mph for 1/4 mile.
