z28
Originally in 1967, it took a Camaro, added a race-prepped 302 V8, power brakes (complete w/ front discs), power steering, and numerous other things. No A/C or auto transmission was available. It was designed to qualify the Camaro for the SCCA Trans Am racing series.
HEMI
Legendary Chrysler V8, characterized by hemispherical combustion chambers. Chrysler Hemi's date back to 1951; however, most are more familar with the 426 Hemi that originated in 1964. The current 'Hemi' used in Chrysler's is not a true Hemi. Thanks alot, Germany.
A special race-prepped 426 Hemi powered the '68 MoPar/Hurst Super Stock Darts and Barracudas. Rated at 425bhp (although more likely over 650), this complete with acid dipped doors, fiberglass hood & fenders, and numerous other weight-reduction techniques got these cars from 0 to 60 in about 3.5 seconds, and boosted them to top speeds of just over 140mph. Needless to say, to this day they dominate the NHRA Super Stock classes.
LS6
450hp Megacube V8 found mainly in older Chevelles, Corvettes, and even some El Camino's. Good for speed and acceleration, not necesssarily handling. That's right, you Euro geeks with your Porsche can **** off and die. Unless you can respect our cars, we won't bail you out of WWIII! Deal? Anyway, blah blah blah, the LS6 is a great old muscle car engine and is famous throughout the world, etc.
My '70 Chevelee SS454 was just barely beaten by my buddy's '70 Hemi 'cuda. He made it to the finish line .2 seconds before me. Of course, his car weighs less.
rock n roll
To quote Bill Haley, who prety much invented rock, it is volatile mix of country and pop. At least, originally it was. It has its roots with black R&B dudes and folk singer type guys. Then white people started mixing it with country & pop (see above), and it started to become rock 'n' roll. Starting in the mid '50s, people such as Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presely, and others created a whole new genre. In teh early '60s, surf bands like the Beach Boys and others started chaning it a bit. y the late '60s, it started to lose sight of its purpose. Hippies started transforming it from realtively short and fast songs into long, slow, boring songs about God-knows-what. By the '70s, bands like the Ramones starting to bring it back to its roots, only with a harder edge. Around this time, metal was created. Metal is hardly rock. Then it got pop-ified in the '80s, then it transformed into a bland, repetitive, boring commerical music in the '90s, finally being pashed out of mainstream society by metalheads and ganster rap people.

six pack
A modified 440 magnum engine made by MoPar from 1969 to 1972. They took a stock 440, put on an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and stuck on 3 2-bbl. Holley carbs, among other, more minor things. One of the greatest muscle car engines of all time. Could compete with the 426 Hemi, the 428CJ, and the LS6 454. Rated at 390hp, 490ft-lbs.
The '69 Six-Pack Road Runner is one of the fastest cars ever. They can outrun many modern sports car, and look cooler while doing it.
