That was not mine it was just to show how a big block 8 has a flat torque line. My go fast days were through the late 70s trough mid 90s. People here ovule laugh at the hp numbers we thought were great. Couple of my cars could blow the doors off some of the modern ones in a straight line but you needed 20 minutes and about 10 acres to make a turn. After years of living my life a quarter mile at a time it just got old.

It isn't that I am against more hp for these cars but more that people that want it fully understand all that more means to them and the platform. Also can't tolerate the guys that claim the car is too slow to drive safely. It isn't a slow car just a car that is slower than a few others.
