It may be a fail but it sure sounds a lot better to say I have a 454 under the hood vs a 7.4.

False. Nobody that matters knows what 320 km/h is. :fighting0040:

Ford's one-year only 7 Litre Galaxie Model (option in '67) arrived in '66.

Yup, it was the 6.5 GTO that I was specifically thinking of. Also, 2nd Gen T/As had a 4.9, Turbo 4.9. T/A 6.6L, 6.6 Liters, and even a 5.0...

Nice comparison and nice cars. Nice quote at the end too. "Ultimately we need these cars. Machines like this, engaging, direct, involving, non-nannied sports cars are what makes driving enjoyable."

But doesnt sound cool when I get to say half the fed tax off my pay goes to an overabused, dilluted medical system. I'll take the MPH too.

I would say the T/A 6.6 was the first and the 5.0 in the mustangs in the mid 80's were definitely when things probly turned.
