The GTO became even more famous in the Fast & Furious series

Back then cubic inches and horsepower were king, and granted not in all cases, but multi carbureted big blocks were certainly top dogs of the day. Whether it was Pontiacs 389, Fords 427, Chevys 427 or Chryslers 440 Sixpack and 426 Hemi as they certainly added a mystique to the mix.

You've evidently never seen a 66 Chevy II with 350 horsepower. Street Hemi killer.

A great list of high horsepower V8s.
My opinion is the Chevy small block is the greatest ever. Starting life as a 265 and finishing as a 400+ CI engine. The best most flexible engine ever. 😊

[@pjmasteraseclassic]

Chevy's LS6 454 and over the counter 454 LS7 were king!

baldwin motion V8`s 427 CI built to drag race

Correction!, actually the L88 that was in the Corvette was 530 HP and 510 Torque.

Off the line STOP LIGHT TO STOP LIGHT nobody could beat a 428 COBRA JET...its only at higher RPMs that it got beat by those MOPARS

[@allenoshana7461]

Chevys couldn’t make the power and Ford’s 427 cammer made the power but wasn’t durable.This is why ALL TOP FUEL and FUNNY cars are based on the 426 HEMI. HEMI is the real muscle car king.
