Despite a slightly better engine, those '60's had to work a bit harder due to that wider body...maybe that in itself equalized the '57 cars...but then again we're talking
about cars that had trap speeds of maybe 90 mph?
I remember 3 basic combos in the class...the 162 hp '57 Chevy...the 170 hp '60-'62
Chevy, and the 135 hp early Olds...were there other ways to get into SS/X?
