Had a 1970 Plymouth Superbird equiped with a 426 Hemi and 4-speed.....very quick....and it looked fast even while standing still...
Also, had a 1970 Challenger RT/SE with the 440 backed with a built 727 trans. also very quick....
In addition I also owned a hand full of 1966 Chargers all powered by 383's....and even if smaller than the above...they felt and pulled like they had as much power.....
But, bottomline is...none of the above seemed to have the power (and fun factor) of my '08 Challenger.
