Just rereading a C&D article I loved when I was younger, a drag race between a GMC Syclone (a “car” I lusted for) and a Ferrari 348. The Syclone was hugely impressive at the time for its amazing torque, launch, 0-60 and quarter mile stats. It beat the Ferrari in a dig drag race, though the Ferrari was charging up from behind at the end. 30 years ago but I was really impressed, with both.
Reading the old article again I glanced at C&D’s test results for the M6 EB HPP: Same torque as the Syclone (but at LOWER rpm), more power than the Ferrari, and even though same weight as the Syclone, quicker 0-60 than the Syclone, higher trap speed than the Ferrari, and would blow both out of the water by 5 lengths. Yes, 30 years ago but hugely impressive. I’ll bet it would put the hurt on almost all the great muscle cars from the 60s.
