BTW...one of the greatest drivers of all time was from near you. A young guy named Herschel McGrith...
No ~ the '01 SVT Lightning has a little hotter engine ~ mine has (SuperChip)425hp.
In 1954 Herschel McGriff finished sixth in Winston Cup points.
In 1950 ~ One-hundred thirty-two cars, mostly U.S. sedans, were entered in the first event which covered nine legs over six days. Herschel McGriff of Portland, Oregon did not win a single leg but drove a smart race in his 1950 Oldsmobile 88 to outlast the hard chargers and win the first Mexican Road Race. Total time was 27 hours, 34 minutes at an average speed of 78.421 mph.
Yep ~ old Herschel could drive. :):)
