The 1970 Indianapolis showdown wasn't just a race - it was a referendum on whether raw displacement could beat precision engineering. When the smoke cleared, both teams had pushed each other beyond their limits and created a standard of excellence that defined the golden age of muscle cars.
Which side are you on? Team Plymouth's "more cubic inches = more power" or Team Chevrolet's "intelligence beats brute force"? This argument has been raging for 50+ years and shows no signs of stopping.
