It Rock's and it's a sweet looking car. Randy Moore my friend's older brother had one in 1970 got to ride in it and it would bark the tires at 100 mph totally a cool car and Randy Moore knew exactly how to drive her!

Awesome cars. I had a 70 with the 400 and when you shifted from 3rd to 4th at 90 you could break traction and lay stripes on the road.

This is all wrong. The article states the specs are for the 455HO...but the specs shown are for the base 400, which with 417lb/ft of torque was no slouch. Poor 0-60 times are due to the testing procedures at the time which were done in a manner as to "not cause wheel spin" which was very hard to control on 14" belted or even radial tires. I know, I had a 72 GTO with the aforementioned 400, it was a very quick car.
