Who else ever felt this way?

A slant can be quick, also. My 66 Barracuda with a 170 slant and 3250 lbs went a 12.905 at 101.85 MPH through the mufflers. @Darter6 has seen that car in person. (ran against me at M-D) at time stamp 21.00
All depends what you want.

i never disputed that. but for the work and gear to do it is more then a bigger cube V8. plus the six just doesn't have the sound of a V8.
