The Holman Moody Honker, tested by Andretti, and he called it the worst race car he'd ever driven

Andretti praised Holman Moody for exceptional Nascar racers, and he should know...he won in Nascar too, but he said they didn't get it with sports cars. Again, he knows these things.

Here's something I found interesting about the Honker, it's chassis was designed by the same guy that designed the Ford GT, Len Bailey... Alan Mann Racing developed the chassis, but running the program and building the engines was up to Holman Moody

Mario Andretti with the M6B, the “429’er, actually 494 ci, 8.1 liters

They claimed 720 horsepower from this monster and Andretti said he could get wheelspin in any gear any time; he said the acceleration was so great he had trouble reaching the gearshift.

Unfortunately, during pre-race warm-up a constant-velocity joint failed, breaking an upright which was fixed but the unseen CV joint breakage prevented the car from starting from the pit lane at race time
