Muscle Motor Week 2011!!!
I may not own a car with an engine/hp set-up of such, but I still wish to celebrate the week...to wit:
4/25 or 425hp If my memory is correct, this is the factored hp for both a 426 hemi, one of the famed 409's, and a 427 Chevy, which with regards to the hemi, brings me to;
4/26 Need I say more???
4/27 You 69 Camaro racers with that engine and you Ford SOHC engine runners should love this day!
4/28 Isn't this "The Original Cobra Jet" Ford?
4/29 Can we say, "The Boss"!!!
4/30 The Hp of the "Mystery Motor" Z11 Chevy.
Furthermore, in all due fairness to the month of April, this month graced us with some other noteworthy dates for engines:
4/01 AMC had a dog in this fight too.
4/09 "She's Real Fine, My 409"!!!
4/21 The great "Poncho" Pontiac.
Unfortunately this month isn't 55 days long or else we'd be able to honor other luminaries such as the 454 Chevy, and the 455 Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac monster motor too. Did I miss any? I often think of this at this time of year, because I'm a gear-head (and Damn Proud Of It)!!! I may not race one of them (due to lack of funds for such), but I can still appreciate them, so kudos to you who can!!!
