Whereas the GMC Syclone used a technologically advanced V6 to achieve speed, the Chevy C1500 454 SS did it all through pure muscle. Packing a massive 7.4 liter big block V8 that cranked out 230 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, which was a lot for its day, the Chevy 454 SS could hit 60 in 7.7 seconds. A 1993 V6 Camaro, on the other hand, needed nearly 9 seconds to reach 60. Unfortunately, you’ll get just 10 miles per gallon with the 454 SS, so while speed may be plentiful, fuel efficiency is lacking.
