I watched a cool show on that on the speed channel the other day. There was this car that came stock at like 2700 pounds it had like 1.5 feet tires in the back and it had like a 350 ci engine, It was also made by dodge. It was killer

My fav one is the shelby mustang GT500

I would put my dad's '69 Yenko Camaro up against your SR'd 240 in a drag race anytime brutha!

A 4cyl may make the 400hp, but will never make the torque and it will not make the hp on regular gas like a V8 can. Also take into account longevity. A 400hp V8 is not necessarily tuned on the verge of detonation the way a 400hp 4 cyl is. That is obviously a generalization, but holds true for the most part.

My favorites are the aforementioned '69 Yenko and COPO Camaros, '69 GTX, the Hemi Dart, '87 Buick GNX/Turbo Regal, and '65-'72 Buick Skylark/GS/GSX. That is not all-inclusive, but those are at the top for me.
