In 1980 a good friend of mine had a 1968 Hemi Barracuda. This was the single most uncivilized, frightening automobile experience I have ever had pleasure of having. As stated 700+ hp was not hard to accomplish. With 4:56 gears the tires would go up in smoke on the freeway with a healthy stab at the throttle. I have driven a 996TT and the mind numbing acceleration of that vehicle still does not compare. Believe it or not the car was sold one year later for the unbelievable sum of $6,000. Believe it or not back in the early 80's people did not want to spend $$$ on a vehicle that got 4-6 mpg.
