Somebody around here once stated that AMX engines "sucked". Can this somebody (or another) explain to your humble european ignorant what exactly made them "suck"?

#7, May have been too little too late after they were hp-wise behind during the "good years".

#1, They do suck. They suck a lot. Air and gas.

#1, AMC never quite reached the same level of performance (at their peak) as the big three did, but they still produced some crazy cool performance cars.

AMC didn't have the performance, but they made up for it in styling. They had less to lose by letting their designers have fun... it's kinda what set them apart.

The 390 apprently had 325 hp and the 401 330, that's enough for me :P

Their most powerful stock engine was the 390 in the 1970 Rebel Machine, which made 340 hp. Unfortunately, the car weighed 3900 lbs.

The AMXs and Javelins, however, were light enough to be sufficiently fast with the slightly less powerful version 390. Plus, the engine incredibly managed to make over 400 ft. lbs. of peak torque.
