I fear no Musclecar in stock form. My dad's 427 powered 1963 Vert would have beaten me in the 1/4 due to launches he got with it, but my trap is higher. Don't trust old magazine numbers. If there was ever a bigger game than giving false hp ratings in the musclecar days, it was giving factory tuners to the magazines to test. Almost all of the old musclecars are disappointing in their performance figures when tested today.
Older musclecars are also notorious for wearing out fast. Crappy oils, high compression ratios (the real powercars), and parts quality made for longevity problems. |
