I don't have anything against muscle cars, in fact I love them. They just don't have as much HP as most people would like them to have.
? Is there ever enough HP ?
It is possible to build engines with outrageous HP numbers,but I think driveability is just as important.
Had I gone the .040 over and big stroker crank route I'm sure I could have surpassed the 750 HP mark,maybe I should have,it would eliminate most of the shifting.I could drive in 3rd and 4th gear only.
