Re: 1972 challenger-Petty edition

You're right -- the '73 455 Super Duty was an awesome machine. Just goes to show you, performance didn't end in '71! It dropped off a lot, but it didn't end entirely. Plus, "performance" is a relative term. Talk to some guy driving a high-end Ferrari, and he'll laugh at most of our vintage muscle cars.

Most of the guys who write for the magazines these days weren't around to actually own the 60s-70s cars when they were relatively new; all they have to go on is the factory specs and occasional joy rides.
