    @@CoIoneIPanic Oh like my 98 Civic DX with my $95 SS Ricer Muffler that's loud enough with the silencer in? Pull off the silencer and of course, the noise probably adds like another 35hp to a 105hp engine until the cops pull you over for a loud muffler! My 07 Si(turbo with 197hp) does circles around my 98 Civic DX, and my 95 Dodge Cummins 500+hp diesel does circles around my SI (never tested, but Probably 14 sec 1/4 mile?). Without a boosted launch it will do about 70-75 mph in 3/10 mile, 1/2-3/4 throttle! Probably the fastest Cummins in my county! About 0-70 in 6-7 seconds!

    My mom bought a new 74 Monte because she fell in love when she saw it. Steel gray, black landau top with black interior and buckets. She never asked about the motor. Yea, it was a 400 and it would rip. Not as well as the one she got rid of though. She said that one was hard to drive and had too much power. That one was a 71 Monte with a 454. Loved that cal.

    I had a '74 Monte Carlo. Looked just like that one. Mine was a brown metallic with a 350 in it. The only real problem I had with it was the transmission went out. I got one from a junk yard for $150, a guy put it in for $150 and it ran like new then. Great car. I drove it to Denver, then went over the continental divide but not through the Eisenhower tunnel, instead I drove the old hwy 6 that goes over the top of the mountains. I passed a sign that said 13,000 feet and kept going up some before it started back down. That Chevy 350 seemed to have as much power up there as it did at sea level. Great engine. It was a little harder to start at high altitude but once running very little difference.
