Talk about guys getting killed or seriously injured in these cars is true. I remember one local guy with a new 66 350hp 327 Nova SS, that totaled his car because Chev had not yet retrofited the rearend with a U-bolt and the entire rearend twisted out of the car when he hit 3rd. The driveshaft caught the pavment and rolled his new car up in a ball. The driver was never the same. Wheelchair for the rest of his life. I am sure that GM paid dearly for that one and I have heard of others that were about the same result. It doesn't take too many things like this happening to scuttle the HP movement as far as the car companys were concerned. That is not good for sales.
