If so then my 8? (84? 85? something like that) F150 with the 351 would. As the '72 Impala with a 400. Flooring it for 0-100mph and you could see the gas needle drop.

But the last "real" sports car was an '89 SHO. Walked into the dealer to buy a Mustang 5.0 and the salesman kept trying to push these new things that just came off of the truck. I finally agreed to test drive it to shut him up. I finally sold it 2 years ago to a friend's brother who needed a reliable vehicle. Well, that and the wife kept nagging me to get rid of it. It's still on the road with the original engine. The only major repair was replacing the piece of cr*p Mazda transmission when one of the gear pins broke and chewed up the gears.
