   An LS engine in any old car would be that.

   Which is the way most muscle cars go. Especially the LT and LS powered   
   Camaros and Firebirds. Too much hp under the hood in most cases means   
   they'll crash it under high performance. This happens to high performance   
   Mustangs and Challengers too. Corvette drivers are bit less inclined to   
   drive like an idiot and their cars last longer. Maybe they're afraid of   
   losing a pile of money invested in those cars too.
