Nothing special about the 302 motor (490 hp), and I shift at 7800. The
exhaust system.....now that's special.
Rick Parent hand built the headers, x-pipe and the extractor exhaust pipes.

I have heard a few like that, the late Larry Park's Corvette (solo-II
champ from San Francisco area, also ran T/A races). Maybe it is
the funky header system they use (and the high redline). Some
of the 302 Chevies sound pretty good too.
But even the new Fords (twin cam cobras in ITE) sound AWESOME.
Don't know how Ford does it but I like it. Bring on the Shelbies!
