Do numbers of these size equate to speed? I like going fast so I can defer tickets.

My 2010 Camaro SS is rated at 426 from the factory (crank), after some exhaust/intake tweaks I pulled a 427 HP at the wheels on the dyno.

I had no idea the 351 Clevelands put out that many ponies! I had a 351 Windsor, recognised as the 'weaker sister' of the two engines, but it was the toughest thing I ever owned. I commuted from the NY/Can. border to NYC & back several times for day jobs with ZERO oil pressure! It just kept ticking 'em off....
Finally sold the van to some guy who put the engine in a wrecker....it might still be going today for all I know........
'09 SM5, Hindle pipe, K&N, sport rack, backrest, Givi shield EVO swaybar, Symtec grip heaters, Spyderpops belt guard....some other stuff.
Don't worry about the bullet with your name on it,
Be afraid of the one saying 'To Whom it May Concern'!

My first car was a '72 Buick Electra with the 455. I had the Stage 1 heads, and that was the best "sleeper yacht" I ever had!!
Sometimes I'd like to get that car back, and do some serious house cleaning - getting all the distracted drivers off the interstate.

I have often thought about the 60 Buick Invicta. It was a boat and a half. White, that funny extended back window, and the squarish fins and shape. It was graceful and beautiful to look at.
If I had it now, it would be fixed up and looking like new as I prowled the roads. It would probably take away from some of my time though.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
