They were brutal in every way. I'm sure there are modern cars with faster 1/4 mile times, but those cars felt like they rotated the earth when you let it hang out. Nothing compares in that time to the beautiful lines and massive horsepower
I owned a matchin numbers 66 coupe 427/450 hp solid lifter..wt 4 spd. That thing upon launch would squat down and run like a scalded dog. And yes the Speedo would run to the right while the gas gauge would run to the left..
