Oh come on! The 1971 only L69 Tri-power was way faster than 14 seconds in the quarter! I had two of them back in the day (who didn't?), and I was running high 11s with them! Hahahaha!!!
Seriously though, that article makes my brain hurt.

Unfortunately this is the era of instant broadcasting and communication.
An excellent example of how easy it is to disperse misinformation and bad or misguided advice is Facebook. Post some utter tosh about any subject you care to think of, and there will be some who believe it. The main problem is there is virtually nothing to hold this in check. Back in the pre-web days mostly articles were printed in magazines catering for various interests and hobbies. Of course some bad information still got through, but not nearly as much as today.
So somebody decides the moon is made of cheese, or the World is flat, or something completely not the case regarding Oldsmobiles, the only check stopping it being put out there is the "send" or "enter" button.
