Driving the 1970 Chevelle SS
One of the top 10 muscle cars of all time has to be the 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS convertible. So, it was quite a thrill to get a ride in this classic with Dr. Jamie Meyer, product integration manager for GM Performance Parts at California's Willow Springs International Raceway.

This is my wife and her 496 Chevelle. Pump gas, flat tappet,dual plane, 3:31 gears, 3500 stall,full Exhaust, 3800 lbs, old ET Streets. She uses it to get groceries and takes it to her Mary Kay appointments. All three of our kids LOVE riding in the back and going cruising.

Update 7/07- On 93 octane, the budget 496 made 548HP at 5900 rpm and 574TQ with big tube (2 1/4") headers at the crank on a Superflow 902 Dyno.
