It seems like the up and go of the car would seem like a car from the 70's or 80's with a 350. I say this because of this cars weight. HP to weight is on the heavy side. It was much cheaper for GM to put a higher HP motor in the car then to make the car lighter and keep the same 426 HP motor. Too Bad they could not have gotten the weight down to the 3500 to 3600 range and kept the 426 HP motor...oh well
Really you want the performance of a Camaro from the 70's or 80's?
