So, in an age when SUV sales are through the roof and car/sedan/etc. sales are dropping faster than Trump’s approval rating, and car-centric brands have or are in the process of getting their own SUVs to market to try and survive financially in said age; one of the most storied SUV makers is going to compete with it’s…

Originally, yes. NASCAR had a 400 inch limit at the time they developed it in the early to mid 60's. The first production big block was for the 65 model year. They can get MUCH bigger now.

221.9"? Psshht... That’s an OK start I guess. The mid seventies Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five was 252". So was the Bugatti Royale Type 41, but they only made a handful of those so I don’t think we can call that a production car by normal plebeian standards.

DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!

It’s Italian for fire extinguisher. Ferraris like to self-immolate.

Well played, sir.
