Don’t know what top Speed was, but no one ever out ran me on the Hwy when I had it.


Doubtful... A Honda Civic would out run it today.

Don't go pissing on muscle car memories.
My 2012 4cylinder Fusion is 175hp through a much more efficient
tranny. Small, light, aerodynamic. It could run with many of the weaker
60s cars, just flat embarrass most of the 70s and early 80s versions.

Now, there is a 300hp Fusion.

Not trying to be a dick to the enthusiast, Ed is one.


But a lot of memories wouldn't hold up to reality today.

Stock. Altered doesn't count.

Unless, you want your GTO up against on of these kids in a
fast can equipped Honda.

Please don't do that.
I don't want to witness the results.
