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.

Trans Am

An American muscle car; the top model of the Pontiac Firebird, produced from 1969 'til 2002. Originally an appearance package for the Firebird 400. The next year, '70, it actually improved performance. One noteworthy T/A is the 1970 Ram Air V. It was a rare, dealer-installed option that took the RA-IV engine, and added solid lifters and tunnel port heads. They were rated at 500bhp, a 130hp improvement from the RA-IV. Also noteworthy is the '73 T/A. it was the first to feature a large "Screaming Chicken" graphic on the hood. The top engine, a 310hp (net) 455ci Super-Duty V8 got the T/A going pretty fast. The T/A, and its sister, the Camaro, were killed off in '02. Thanks alot, ricer geeks! It I wanted to hot-rod a mini-van, I'd at least make it look decent!

A dude in a green Civic pulled up to me and said he wanted to race. i asked him, "what kind of mods do you have?" He replies, "a spoiler, pimped-out rims, a subwoofer in the trunk, and a cold air intake system." He asked me the same, and I said, "nothing. Just a stock, 415hp 400 cube Ram Air V8." He may have beat me off the line, but I won the race by a long-shot.

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.
