IML: Fatest Mopar

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I think Rodger refers in ters of top speed.  The "muscle cars" were usually gear
limited and/or lift limited.  The fastest muscle car test I have seen was a Hemi
GTX 3.23, and the speed was 144 mph (in another test, a hemi charger had an
"estimated" top of about 165, but the testers did not actually reach that
speed).  The 69 Polara was clocked at 147, probably with a 2.76.  Many standard
C bodies including Imperials would probably reach good speeds with the proper
exhaust system, but the testers of such cars were rarely in top speed.  The HP
cam would definately help...
