What
WAZZIT?
Duke's car was a 1947 Hudson Hornet Coupe. The Hornet dominated
stock car racing in the early-1950s. Its 308 cu in (5.0 L)
six-cylinder engine produced high torque at low RPM and could beat V-8s
from other makes whose power advantage came only at much higher RPMs.
There was no room on a quarter-mile race track with short straight-aways
to get the V8 RPMs that high. |
