Wait right there! The SS Nova’s were outstanding and affordable street cars. Many came equipt with potent 350 / 396 and 454’s turning in low 13’s right off the dealer’s lot.
...as for the Vegas and Chevettes, never heard of them. (LOL)
Yes. I owned a ‘66 396 rat motor Chevy. It got 8 miles to the gallon of premium gasoline.

Don't forget the L-79 Nova SS. 350 horse 327 nicknamed the Giant-Killer because of its ability to knock-off big-block-powered competition.
I had a standard 327 that was modified to 400 hp when I was a teen. We got it insured as an economy car because that's how they were classed (even the SS versions came with a six-cylinder - SS was a trim package).
