Default Re: Most Impressive Stock Muscle Car

Started the post and forgot to list mine. I was very fortunate growing up to be taken under the wing of one of the best mechanics to ever pick up a wrench in my mind.He worked on all makes raced BBC and as a result it gave me exposure and a chance to work on and drive a lot of different ones like most of you guys.It's funny how Steve mentioned the l88. He owned one of them 1of 116 69's and yes I have to agree that it was a weapon on rails.Boy could that car handle. Then Ken hits the l-79 nova another shocker that would come to his shop for tune ups. That would have been definately right up there.
I am BBC to the bone and hate to even say it but the one that would scare the crap out of me even over the l-88 and my l-72 was a 67 Ford 427 dual quad R Fairlane, plain jane rated at what 425. More like 625. That car was nuts.
The only BBC I never got to drive was a zl-1 how are they compared to a copo 427 or the 427 ford.
