Don't all the really good ones... :smile: |
My GTP had 240hp, 280ft-lb from the factory. All it took was a pulley to help the SC boost power a little bit. Man, I loved mashing the pedal on that thing. |
that cryptic, subtle statistic actually dates clyde pretty well. superficially, to me, it means bigger displacement OHV engines with plenty of torque but didn't breathe well to produce HP.
since many of the young ones haven't even ever owned cars with OHV or cam-in-block engines, they'd not generally know what it's like to live with more torque than HP.
that's why it's funny.
