Back when I was a high school kid, a farmer I worked for had a 70 SS454 Chevelle LS6. 450 horses and gad would it run. Had an automatic that would leave a little black on the road at 110 when it hit third gear. Eight miles to the gallon if you babied it. That's my idea of a muscle car. They don't make cars with the combo of power and lack of control like that now. A life-threatening ride for sure but jeez was it fun.
