The '72 and 73 Firebird Formula's and Trans Am's with the 400's and 455H.o's and S.D's were the last of the fire breathers

geeze people have you even gone and browsed the freakin page. I was just trying to show some cool pics and info. Im not trying to make this a stupid import vs domestic/ high power vs low weight discusion
its just that Ive heard so many times that import drag racing is a new thing (90's) and its here to stay... Im just pointing out, its not a new thing
and yes, its here to stay
here's a shortcut to that page with 4 bangers and rotaries of the 70's
I hope you enjoy and dont freakin hate!

Truer words have never been spoken. In my opinion, the 05 mustang is the first mustang produced in 32 years. Everything from 73-04 was just garbage.
