The Best HP Rated Car.
 

With all the HP changes today, its hard to keep up.
What was the Best HP rated car of yester-year.
In other words, was low-rated by the factory and snuck in under the NHRA radar.
* Chevrolet 1967-1969 (Camaro's & Nova's) 396/375HP

1974 ford 460 @ 170hp

Re: The Best HP Rated Car.
 

Maybe I missed something but that Ford 460 is NHRA factored at 300hp.


I think the most underrated engine is the 350 in the 1977 or 1978 Cadilac. It's factored at 188hp!

1. The 1957 Chevrolet 283" 270 hp dual quad combo....

2. The 1964 and up Chevelle 283" 220 hp combo, and the 327" 250 hp combo....all still capable of winning today.... opinion only. WJ

For years the 307 Olds in its many iterations, but now, anything the two Bob's are running! Also possibly the 265 Chev taxi motor

Dave -- You must be talking about the one that got HP this week and will more than likely get it again at years end .................

Re: The Best HP Rated Car.
 

I'll go way back.
1962 Dodge/Plymouth 361/305HP
Pretty dominant from 62' thru 67'.

And of course the early 69' Chevy 350/255HP LM1 engine in the
Camaro's and Nova's.
