The difference is it costs much more today, but so much more power can be made more easily. Oh no, not offended at all- I’m in complete agreement. I see some of the numbers on these cars today, dumbstruck I am. That’s why I hope to get to at least 11’s just to keep up. But I in awe too way back then when Hemi’s and 427 Cobras/Corvettes ruled Woodward Ave. Crude and rude. Never forget my first ride in a 65 Goat with trips, and then one of the best sleepers of all time- the 66 350/327 Nova. It’s all relative. Fun then, more fun today. notchfox --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hello-new-here-old-guy-back-in-the-game/191013)._
