When it came to horsepower ratings they lied through their teeth. Sometimes high, but most often low, to con the frowning farts in the big offices. This was only two months before Detroit pulled out of factory racing entirely, because of some high profile deaths.
In the rest of the world they shrug and say it comes with the territory, and it's voluntary. But here, especially in the 50s, we moan, wail, and rent clothing, while looking for someone to blame.
