    I'm not big into new cars, but that Ferrari was a beauty.

    I like the new cars, but being 6'4" its a pain to fit in it.

    If the requirement were that the car be stock original.

    Then this is an easy choice.

    This car ran a puny 302 cu in motor. With 302 boldly showing on the hood and enough bravado to taunt 442 Oldsmobiles, big block Chevells, Hemi Cuda's, and Mustangs into a false sense of superiority. And while a few could take it in the 1/4 mile nothing could touch it on a road course. What made this the little motor that could? A motor is simply an air pump and this maybe moved a lot of air into either a 780CFM Holly Double pumper carb. Or a rare dual carb cross ram setup. And out a dual exhaust. In between was a small journal 327 block with the 4" bore forged pistons and lightweight "pink" (high brass content) rods rotating around a short stroke 3" crankshaft out of the 283 cu in engine. The resultant 302 cubic inch displacement utilized massive valve "camel back" heads and massive solid lift (I believe it was 512 lift) camshaft. Advertized horse power at 290 was a big joke. These basically stock motors after tuning in a good speed shop were pushing more like 500 for the race track. This super high revving combination moved a lot of air not by displacement but by sheer RPM. This is the same reason the Z28 dominated the Rally Sport and SCCA road courses. The advantage was you could engine brake into the corners by down shifting and still have plenty more revs to power out of corners. The power band started at 4k rpm and went up into the eights.

    One more video.

    And some pics.
