That is super wide. but that rear tire profile has to be a typo. or the picture is not the correct rim/tire combo listed. there is no way that is a 40 profile. more like 20.

Found the C&D article http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...n-detroit.html

Says it's 598 CID which would be 9.8L.

10.55 at 135.05 is listed as the quickest run for the Mustang.

Looks like they never did get a straight answer as to the Camaro's real displacement which used a Donovan block.

When the Camaro's hood came up in round one, he recognized the non-GM block. "Hey, Jon, whenja put in this Donovan?" Pure racing hardware. This wasn't the motor Moss had been showing around.

After the match, we asked the Tower about the "Donovan," how long it had been in the Camaro. He looked skyward, which is kind of a close-up for him, considering the possibilities. He allowed a slow smile. "About a month," he said.

"That a real number?" we asked, pointing to the hood scoop's 572.

"It's a real number."

"But is it the displacement?"

Again he considered. Again a smile. "Oh, about 580," he said.

Among poker players and street racers, that's full disclosure, as close as you'll ever get.

thats from the article.
