No riddle, the Nova got it's doors blown off by a Road Runner running a 440 Hemi with a six pack.
I'd like to see that.
Even in Space there are lousy drivers.
Uh, either a 440 6-pack (390 gross HP), or a 426 Hemi (425 gross HP - which is a large understatement, it was more like 490 HP) with dual quads - which beats the crap out of a mere six-pack. Either is a fine car, and very expensive right now in any kind of decent condition, but there ain't no such beast as a 440 Hemi with a six-pack.
Oh, BTW, I saw an auction a few months ago of a pristine ‘71 Hemicuda convertible with a 4-speed, one of 11 manufactured - and no one knows the fate of the other 10. It sold for $3.5 million.
Also FYI, today’s Hemicudas (even sans the supercharger) can nearly run rings around the older ones, get about twice the mileage and damned near never rust...for about $65K brand new, with a guarantee.
But the old ones were REALLY special in their day.
440 Hemi Six Pack. Hot Rod much? ;D)
