307kW "Factory" engines..

[dzorde]

MMMHHH, looks like I might be wrong about the factory fitting of the APS,
anyway they are bloody fast.  I ran a hill climb event in my HQ Monaro with
a TPI 350 (no laughing please, this one does go around corners and stop very
well, unlike most others) in it and the GTS-R put in a time 4 sec faster
(but I'm sure that's because of his ABS).  Then again he was 2 sec slower
than a 427 Cobra, which was again 2.5sec slower than a D-type Jag.

Anyway to finish as this thread started, there are still muscle cars being
built today with the enormous power of the cars in the '70s.
