Jay Leno's Take on the 426 Street Hemi
Jay owns a vintage 1970 Hemi Challenger R/T in production-line-stock (or very close to it) form.
This video is interesting because he repeatedly mentions the "myths" surrounding this engine (in its production line stock form) and its distinct lack of power relative to modern performance cars. He also mentions the car's terrible handling qualities, abysmal fuel economy and horrible quality control.

Jay owns many performance cars and has driven even more of them, so I have to think that his opinion is a valid one.
It's really amazing that some people are paying hundreds of thousands of US dollars for an old clunker like that.
