That's cuz you never had one.
The 351 Windsor linked up through the C6 automatic was actually a fairly potent package, properly built up. Made for a real "sleeper" if you kept the exhaust note quiet. Of course, you could also get the fastback Cobra model with the big block and REALLY smoke your tires off.
My family had a '69 GT sedan and it was always a blast on the open road. Sold it to some H.S. kid two years before I got old enough to drive. It probably wound up in a wrecking yard a couple of years later.
Touche.
Of course I was making a poor joke on the name of a great car. By the way, my first car was a '71 Olds 442; why oh why in God's name did I sell it?
Maybe the 9 mpg during the Arab Oil Embargo?
