There was an art form to the lies though. Back in the day drag race classes were based on advertised hp to weight figures. GM seemed to have a knack for building lighter cars than Ford or Chrysler and lied less about HP. So a guy could go the strip in a stock 57 Chevy 2 Dr Hardtop with a 270 horse small block and completely blow away an 8 year newer Mustang with a 270 horse motor. It happened all the time.
