The 1976 455 TA

Last of the 455's. Per an earlier post of mine, if you got a '76 455 4sp with the Limited Edition option, you got a rare one. Only 110 built.

My Bro had one in Firethorn Red, I had my Bandit at the same time, and we thought we were a couple of Bad Asses back in the late '70's.
Was at the local Monday car show yesterday (Fun Time Cruzers in MI), a guy had one there, and he lamented that is was "only 200HP".
I said - yeah, but do you know how much torque it has? Had no clue.
330 Ft-Lb @ only 2000 RPM! Not bad for stock.

Case in point, Horsepower is for braggin, Torque is what you feel on the street.
In General:
"The reason that large displacement engines are so popular with performance enthusiasts is that as displacement increases, so does the ability for the engine to make more torque at lower engine speeds. Which is why hot rodders love big engines."
