Imho.. if you think 1974/ 75 ANYTHING was a performance vehicle!!! You've obviously never had your pants scared off of you by a big block anything from the big three from 67 to 71, period!

Can't provide facts n figures without digging deep,,but Australia's 1975 XB Falcon Gt sedan,and coupe,with the ol'351 C n 4 speed was a pretty scary ol tart throughthe gears,,and was probably the last of any muscle car available in any reasonable numbers..

Robin, my statement applies to vehicles made in/for the US market after '72 when the Detroit engineer's heads were reeling from all of the new regulations that they had to deal with, and had very little experience how to comply on a large scale mass production basis. Those guys were throwing about a mile of vacuum tubing at everything with four wheels, along with that new monster, EGR, the artificial octane booster. What you guys had in other parts of the world may have still been what we had enjoyed pre-'72 for a few years but it's a moot point.
