Only downside is that I got around 12 mpg in both cars because I loved hearing the sound when accelerating.
I was in high school in the early 80’s and muscle cars were dirt cheap. I had three in a row. 70 charger 383, 71 GTO 400 and a 69 383 roadrunner.

The V8 sound of my youth will always be part of me and make me smile. Sound and gear rowing is what I grew up with and will always be hard to let go. #NoTeslaForMe
