We're gonna do what they say can't be done.
Smokey and the Bandit cars were 76s.
None from '72 on had enough power to pull a greasy noodle outta chicken's ass....

Don't care, I'd still trim the beard down to a mustache and buy a cowboy hat if this were mine.

I believe my Corolla has close to that.
It's hard to believe in 2020 you can buy a car that gives you twice the hp, twice the torque and twice the gas mileage. All in a much more comfortable package.
Daddy always said that as wouldn't pull a wet strang out of a fat hogs ass. My old man had a million of em!
Ain't nothing a big block won't fix.
Don't need a Big Block today GB!
That Small Block 392 (6.4) in that Mopar I just bought has 487 hp ad 470 ftlb @ 4000 rpm. Pretty nuts when you consider I still get 18 mpg overall. Damn fun!
I had a 67 sb Camaro that gave me 400 hp and 350 ftlbs with 7-9 mpg. Modern technology is just incredible!
That's why kids build such bad assed rice rockets with 4 cylinder motors making 6-800 hp and a "squeeze". Not my thing at all, but pretty frickin cool!

Understood Cowboy, my point was that modern small blocks out-perform big blocks from the day!Sent
The Hellcat motors are even smaller at 6.2L but make 707 hp through a supercharger. No squeeze at all!
A SB is fine for the street. But the throaty rumble of a BB Chevy is music to the ears of any car man. And on the strip BB's shine. And those silly rice burners with their Maxwell House coffee can muffler tips are just silly & sound like a souped up sewing machine.

Yeah, that. When I first heard of this, I was flabbergasted:
https://www.pocket-lint.com/cars/ne...gh-mustang-speakers-to-make-cars-sound-better
"Ford has admitted that its Active Noise Control system, as found in the 2015 Ford Mustang, pumps fake engine sounds through the in-car speaker system to replicate the growl of the older models."
WTH? They KNOW the sound people like to hear, and to fake it like that...puh-lease.
