sleds can still go fast
Big cars turning decent numbers? It can be done. I know someone who built a Buick GS station wagon. You read that right. It was never a factory car, but he made one from a 1972 buick Skylark wagon by shoehorning a bone-stock 455 Stage I in the engine bay. Same interior/exterior trim treatment, stock floor shifter, rally wheels, etc. The few mods were better tires and 3" pipes all the way back.
This 4000-plus pound car consistently ran 13.56 in NC weather and had the distinct pleasure of embarrassing many pimply faced kids (probably future teenage street-racing statistics). I only wish I could send along pictures - he sold the car a few years ago to a Honda owner - no joke.
