For those of you that might be interested, have a look at http://chrysler300country.com
I've just spent an hour or so(!) looking at it, absolutely fascinating. Check out the full table of contents though! |

Nice quote off the site:
"The result was astounding.......dyno reports of the day showed that the big engine produced a solid 450 horsepower. Chrysler, however, to avoid confrontations with insurance companies, (it didn't work) proclaimed a mere 15 more horsepower than the Magnum and rated the monster at 390 horses."
I'll bet that some of todays car manufacturers wouldn't even be able to SELL a car if they knocked 60 horses from its stated output. |
