LOL!!!! I agree w/ you amoebassassin, those cars actually had the balls to back up whatever their exterior may have looked like... I mean, it's hard to beat some of those large-block V8's shoot, even the 350 can be a stout motor let alone the 400's and 421's (I think that the road runner came w/ an even bigger engine... I seem to remember it being closer to a 450 or so....)

and here the 240 sits w/ no where near those balls... now if it was sporting a turbo or say an rb series engine then I might venture to say that it would have the balls to back up any exterior mod...

Except if you hook one up to an actual chassis dyno as from factory, you may be shocked at how low the numbers can be. Has to do with how they rated engines then. Still, 400+ ci will make serious power no matter what. I just have a suspicion that if you take any stock muscle car and put it against a stock TT 300ZX or Supra the newer vehicles would win.
