Identify that car....

HP vs weight ratio has a lot to do with the performance of today's vehicles.

HP vs weight has always been key to performance since the first vehicle was invented.

Today’s vehicles have advantages over 60’s vehicles more due to technology (FI, Transmissions, tires etc)

This guy lives on the route. He still has that pickup. It's a different color now.

Nothing cooler than a pair of injected Elephants in a front-engine rail! Maybe I saw that one at Thunder Valley some years back?

Just one more...and then I'm off to bed. ETA: Just a hint...one more of Hot Rod magazine's all-time Top Ten Street Machines.

And another:

Nobody wants to hazard a guess? Three of the most legendary street cars of all-time?

Sullivans 67 chevy.
Lisk Challenger.
Joe Rugirello sudden death mustang 2.
Gary Kollofski 55 chevy.
The silver I do not know.

Remember the over the top Rick Dobbertin Pontiac J2000.
How about the Ram charger where they used radiator hoses to mount the dual 4's way way up in the sky.
How about this one below.

swampratt, you did good. Scott Sullivan's '67 Chevy II, Steve Lisk's '71 Challenger with the Pro Stock Hemi, Gary Kollofski's bad-to-the-bone blown '55 Bel Air, Joe Ruggirello's Gapp and Roush built Sudden Death Mustang II with the 505ci motor, and, last but not least, Jimmy Addison's legendary 487ci Hemi powered '67 GTX, known as the "Silver Bullet" and the "King of Woodward Avenue". These days 10 second cars aren't that uncommon, but back in the mid-to-late Seventies, it was a mighty rare street car that could run times like that. Addison and Kollofski's cars were legitimate mid-10 second cars, Lisk's Challenger was supposed to be in the nines, and Sudden Death was rumored to be in the low 10's. At the time, Pro Stockers were running in the mid nines.

If I remember correctly, the Mustang II is running a 429.......can't remember who built it.....maybe Roush??
