And, folks who had them know they had a brute collectible. Sorry for those who may disagree, but if you lived and breathed back then, you know I'm right.
At the drags the 440x6 usually beat the Hemi's cause many guys had a hard time tuning the Hemi. However professionals could get the Hemi to perform well. Also with the Hemi the power came on late.
