However most didn't have the technology or capability to put that power down... Perfect example the 1972 Olds 442 bragging about "wider 14x7" wheels... Please... I had 9.5" wheels with 275's on the back of my 2020 SS and couldn't get traction... Finally with 11.0" and 305 summer tires I can finally hook with some sort of reasonableness..

Left: My "fun" ride (475 HP). Right: My "work" ride (52,000 HP): a Gulfstream G600. One's top speed is 180 Mph, the other, 620 Mph. BOTH AWESOME to operate...
