I was born in '71, but spent a lot of time reading Road & Track issues from the late 60's/early-mid 70's at my grandma's house. Lots of doom & gloom in the automotive world when all the new emissions regs and the gas crisis collided.Have you ever looked back at the change in power numbers from 71-72 to 73 when the emissions standards kicked in? HOLY HELL the power went to shit. I remember reading that a big block 454 produced less power than most modern 4 cylinders.
