In the early 1970s, American muscle cars started suffering from serious performance issues. The 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra is a perfect example. Despite the bulky 302 cu in Windsor V8 engine, it only had a handful of power - can you guess how much exactly?
Answer 139 horsepower
Yes, that's right — the menacing King Cobra was about as powerful as a new Toyota Corolla. Plus, due to the hefty weight, the 0-60 time was in the ballpark of 10 seconds. No wonder that it came out in the period known as the Malaise Era.
