Kind of like the Buick Regals and Grand Nationals that were quicker than the Corvettes. A 3.8L V6 whupping a 5.7L 'vette sure soured the Chubby guys milk. Chubby's flag ship getting whupped by an old man sedan.
I remember those cars WELL. Went to school with a guy that got a T type Regal shortly after we got out. A perrofmance chip and slicks and that car went deep into the 11s.
