one other thing,

i see blur hit on it a bit. is the motors themselves. yeah, they made 400 hp but they didnt do it very efficiently. 10 miles to the gallon sucks. mixed in with the weight, is how the weight it placed in the car. with the cars coming off the line lower from the factory than the days of old leaf springs. with upgraded suspension comes better times.

what ive always laughed at is the fact that back in the day they offered these super engines straight from the factory for relatively cheap. 300hp was the starting point. not 170, or 250. with the exception of the vette, and a few SS camaros, how many other cars came out with over 300hp? (not including the new G8 and whatnot, im talkin the last decade or two)

hell with the emissions cutting down in the 70's, the Z28 of 76 was rated at like 175hp.
