At the time, the 1970 Chevelle SS 454 had the optional (and now legendary) LS6 big-block V8. This engine was the most powerful offered by Chevrolet until the introduction of the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The LS6 featured solid lifters, high compression/closed chamber heads, an aluminum intake manifold and a Holley 750-cfm carburetor (same size used in modern NASCAR engines). Other go fast options included a 12-bolt posi-traction rear end, 4.10 gears and a M-22 4-speed manual transmission. All these performance options resulted in a car that was brutally fast, and could easily dominate the local dragstrip right off the showroom floor. Perhaps the best way to sum up the Chevelle SS 454 is to reference a famous quote about the car:
Developer comment:"Driving (one) is like being the guy who's in charge of triggering atom bomb tests. You have the power, you know you have the power, and you know that if you use that power, bad things may happen."
