I learned to drive in the parental units' 66 Pontiac Bonneville, 389
4bbl. Stomping the pedal on that thing would push you into the back
seat and lay a coupla strips of rubber as far as you wanted. Of course
it wallowed like a pig, had no steering to speak of, was big and heavy,
but did it sound good and make you feel good. The 64 Pontiac I got to
drive mostly was very similar, also a 389, but not quite as beastly.

1972 I believe. A few engines were actually under-rated, during the
sixties. The Camaro 302 in the early Z-28 was rated at 290 hp. The
L-88 427 was rated at 435 hp. Both engines produced more than their
rated power.
