In this poll at the time the MHO was picked The General Lee wins by a landslide.

71/72 was when the EPA got the auto industry in a stranglehold, so cars were pretty gutless after that. I don’t know the numbers but that Torino would’ve had AT MOST half the power of a 69 charger

[Jaximus-Lion]

Well! If we are taking the cars in a very good condition for a drive, i would say the 69 Dodge wins but not by much. I would be gussing between 3 to 5 seconds differences.

[Cb142]

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Cb142 I thought it was as a kid anyways lol

[Cb142]

i still love to watch it and i have a few collectables of there stuff i tried to pm you but wasn't able to lol but yea love that show

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Cb142 yeah sorry, had a lot of issues last year with pm/dm whatever lol so stopped really following anyone on here and set my dm to private…

[Cb142]

In a quarter mile i pick the Torino. it is a lot lighter and will accelerate faster.

[humanearth]

Actually I believe the Torino weighed more by a 1/4 of a ton

[exitseven]

The Charger weighed in at 1785 Kg, The Torino was 1778 Kg. They are about the same.

[humanearth]

Maybe the Torino had a fat bitch in the back seat

[exitseven]

The spec sheets I read said driverless but nothing about passengers. My mother had one and it had the 302 V8 and it was a rocket. Starsky and Hutch had the 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel Holley carb. That thing must fly.

General. The grand torino wasn't exactly fast.

[Likes2drive]

Pretty sure The General Lee

[Sparkie460]

The general Lee had more power than the torino

[exitseven]

Yes, the Charger has a 425 CU engine with 425 HP the Torino had a 351 CU putting out 400 HP.

[Msputiton]
