On what do you judge a car? On it's engine? There exists a whole series of new engines from the standard 6 cylinder Hi-Thrift 194, very quiet, that develops 120 HP up to the lightning quick V8 Turbo Fire 327 which develops 350 HP. Above all do you like comfort? In this case, know that the soft ride of the Chevelle has been further improved by new springs in front and rear and on new thick blocks (body mounts) used in the assembly of the body. But if you judge a car by it's good handling then you should try the Chevelle.
