Re: 345 horsepower in 1953 was good!!! yeh I agree it's still good, but back in 1953, it was excellent
Re: 345 horsepower in 1953 was good!!! That horsepower rating is done in groos not net. Net horsepower is used today and it would be between 250 and 275 if it were measured in net.

345 horsepower is the amount of horsepower that the Cadillac Escalade has today? It's amazing that they were able to make that much horsepower back then! I would definitely take that car out for a spin if it was still existing today.
