Are full sized cars supposed to be powered by only four turbocharged cylinders?

Um, show me a full size car powered by the mighty 4g63t stock and I'll show you a slow car.

They were talking about early mid 60's to early early 70s cars. When mpg was not in the american vocabulary and cruisin was the thing to do on a friday night.

Honestly, the muscle car hype is fueled by middle age men who wish to be 18 again. Cars weren't that fast unless modified or rare, brakes sucked, and handling was akin to steering a washing machine.

I enjoy mine, but it's not for everyone. I guess not having an inferiority complex helps. I know it's old, slow, creaks, smells, loud, single digit mpg on 93+, and isn't reliable but hey, it's got character. laugh.gif
