Torque is king, that's all there is to it. I had a friend whose mother bought a '68 Fairlane GTA with a 390 and a 3-barrell Holley (automatic trans). He could mash the throttle at 90 and just vaporize the tires. They had shit for traction. It would probably hook with today's tires. Another reason I didn't build the kit car was because I found out that the California DMV only allows 500 to be licensed per year...in the entire state. My chances of getting in the door and to the counter in time would be vanishingly small.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
