Real Horsepower of Muscle Cars

I agree about the DZ302 Chevy. Remember too, that 290 HP was advertised at 5800RPM. Them engines were built to twist 8K. No tellin what they made at that RPM. those engines were built to breathe at high RPM. There's a guy in Baldwin county "supposedly" has a LOW mileage '69 DZ car with the crossram setup and headers still in the trunk that were never installed by the dealer. I hear he shows it in locak shows around the Milledgeville, Georgia area. Only about 17 miles from me. I have yet to lay eyes on the car, though. There ain't a prejudiced bone in my bodywhen it comes to cars and I readily admit a soft spot for Chevys. I've owned and built a lot of them. They are some great engines. Quick, easy and cheap way to get into hot rodding. I would rather see a kid build a Chevy outta necessity, than a rice rocket any day. They all built some cool muscle back in the day. Saw a 78 Trans Am yesterday. Was real clean and a nice lookin car. Kinda always pined for one of them, too. Most Mopar guys and gals I know are like me. They like everything.....but it's really funny most people who like other makes sure aren't like that with Mopars. I reckon they're just jealous.
