my brother had a 73 4door cutlass back in the early 80s. 350 4bbl. had plenty of giddyup. 95 mph up and down the nj turnpike without a peep. From McGuire AFB to Montvale Nj in an hour. back in the day that was pretty good for a 10 year old car
The Googles say the 71 455 was 280hp gross, and the 73 455 was 270hp net. Isn't that more? Narrator says the hp has "shrunk considerably". Perhaps what shrunk considerably was the payola being funneled to "journalists" by GMs marketing dept
