I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'The Chrysler Road Rockets - Part 1' - When roadholding and brakes were of secondary importance! The first pony car out of the blocks was the Plymouth Barracuda, with the more popular Ford Mustang being released two weeks later. The combining of the pony car and muscle car concepts began in the late '60's and reached a climax in 1971. At this point, cars the size of a 1960's Ford Mustang could be optioned up with 429 cubic inch (7 litre) engines. This move resulted in extremely quick machines that could annihilate today's performance cars on the quarter mile while laying down strips of rubber 'til half track! Mid 13 seconds was the norm for the Chrysler Hemi-powered monsters - and that's on street rubber. During this era it was not unheard of to walk into a car dealership, give up your five or so grand and drive out in a race-ready machine producing a claimed 500 brake horsepower.
