Default RE: Interesting piece from carlustblog.com

I remember my 64 Galaxie 500 with the HiPo 289 and 3 speed column shift. I remember my cousin's 67 Mustang but I don't recall which motor. Then there was a mid seventies Monte Carlo, GTX W/big block wedge, and. My dad had so many Chevy 350 cars I can't stand them anymore. None of them had 425 HP or 420 ft/lbs or could launch without wrapping the rear end into a knot or shift without throwing your shoulder out or you elbowing the back seat passengers in the foreheads going for second gear. The tires sucked and were responsible for a number of wrecks. And let's not even talk about creature comforts. To me the new Challenger intimidates way more than any other modern muscle and just as much as the 70's cars.
