273 commano on the dyno wooooow

The extra smog gear and safety gear kills the mileage. Some cars were 1,800 lbs.

One small car that wasn't all that bad was a 1980 Charger..think that was it, was a tiny front wheel drive car with a 2.2 turbo 4 banger. It got that 40 mpg driven lightly and had pretty good pick up, wasn't no 13 second car but an honest 15 before mods and DC had performance stuff for it, could easily get in to the 14's with a few mods

Car wasn't so safe in a crash thou, these new cars today are safer in a crash and today's cars hold the road better and brake better. When I think of safe cars, its those full size 70's cars that I feel hold up better in a crash but todays cars do steer and brake better to avoid crashes
