One of the most effective street cars I ever saw was a mild 355 in a VN wagon, which would consistently run high 4's on the street. Only because everything was just right, not too much power, good torque, good traction not so much weight etc. Because that car would do the same time over and over again on average roads, not many cars on the road are as "real world quick"
Yeah but it's not the "complete" package
