    Hello out there, I see the HP on those cars its like 350-400hp. I was wondering when you go from 0-60 how fast is the HP?
    I remember somebody telling me, that if I get one of these cars, I wont get good HP cause the car is so heavy. But I love mopars while they love to drive their small toyotas.

    I have a 1965 buick electra 225 with a 401. The best 1/4 mile time to date is 16.29@85.58 MPH. Generally speaking, these motors will put down about 235HP and, I believe 370TQ to the rear wheels in stock trim. I weighed my '65 when I was at the track. 1/2 tank of gas, with full interior, and spare tire, it was about 4620 lbs.
