Default Re: Fastest Musclecar?

The manufactures tweaked lots of things, for example, Pontiacs flagship was the GTO, they wanted the public to believe that to be there quickest car, then along comes the 400 Firebird which was quicker due to less weight. Pontiacs answer? They installed a block on the throttle linkage of the Firebird to stop it from opening all the way, thereby giving the GTO the advantage and Pontiac the ability to continue to claim the goat as there premier musclecar. How many of you guys heard that one before? Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
