I am too young to have first hand experience growing up with these cars, but being a car nut and working at a classic car dealer for a few years in my teens, I have had the opportunity to drive some rare muscle. The 426 Hemi I drove was in a Challenger. Crazy power. Would kill the skinny little tires on it. The most violent was a 69 Vette-427/435hp tri-power (3x2bl carbs). (way more than that, just its rating) with a 4spd. Violent, loud and hot, especially around the side pipes. Lastly, I drove a 1970 Chevelle SS 454/450hp. Real tourque, again would kill the skinny factory tires. Never owned any of them but got the pleasure to drive and work on them. I currently own a 1970 Chevelle Malibu and a 1970 Corvette 350/350hp 4spd. The Vette is #s matching, pretty quick. The Chevelle is a work in progress, currently a small block about 300hp.
