It's funny that you showed that car.
I was no gearhead in HS, in fact, I was happy to have an 82 chevette at my disposal for my HS years(class of 86)....LOL It was a hatchback, and great for parking.....LOL
Anyway, I had two friends who were really into cars, and one had a '68 camaro, and the other had a '69.
Both race them in the quarter mile.....
The guy with the 68 had nitro and more gadgets, and got it down in the high 10s. The other guy had the poor mans ride, and got it in the high 12's.
