LoL.... They were almost as fast as a stock (stock) 5.0 Fox body. Almost. Corporate advertising to get your 'buy-in' is just that. I never rode around in a stock Iroc-Z that had me thinking they were fast.

That Iroc-Z in the link could hang w/Farm Truck w/o the ginormous exhaust, big bore BBC, & huge slicks.

We don't have to agree.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
