You are quite correct- these cars are scary fast. And to think that they accomplished all this with 8.6 to 1 compression!

If there is one version to have of a SD455, it would be a stick car. (Unless you're old like me and need to be refrigerated and have the shifting done for you) :-)
I'm one of the old guys, I had a 74 Four speed and sold it. And bought a Auto A/C Car.
