My uncle had a Pontiac Bonneville with a 455 in it.
Could not drive that thing under 40MPH, even with my
pinky toe on the accelerator.
That 455 stock is a pig compared to many on the road todat. Even the 6 cylmustang would shame it.
My dad bought a new 1970 Eldorado with a 500 cubic inch, 425HP V8. The hood on that car was 9 ft long! He loved rolling up on the traditional muscle cars and leaving them in the dust at the light. All that weight sitting on a, front wheel drive car made for an awesome Boulevard dragster! No burn outs just a quick bark and raw power!
