If 305hp to the back wheels means anything to you, it will definately fly.
That means the engine (stock) is making over 345hp at the flywheel...not
to mention the amount of torque the LS makes.

Just remember, torque moves objects, horsepower maintains...

I've owned two, a green Bel Air convertible, 327 w/4spd and a dark blue
210 tudor with a Blue Flame six and 3 on the tree...That convert was a
delight to drive with the extra weight of the X member to hold it down.
The 210 was my daily driver at the time.
