I'm sure he would. My Dad back in his hayday had a 67 or 68(can't remember) camaro SS. I think it had the 396 cu inch engine in it and I think it was pushing around 350 @ flywheel(don't quote me though). Well anyway my dad drove the 91 TT around when he was getting it checked out and my brother told me he said, "Damn, this thing is pretty strong!" :). So I'm sure your Dad would have too.
