I keep hearing that. Both my cars have manual steering, 65 Cuda, 51 Plymouth. Now the Cuda has standard ratio, the 51 is 18.2:1. Neither is a muscular effort to parallel park. Even with oversized tires on them. Cuda has a 273, the 51 has it's original, and heavier than an LA, flathead. My 16 yo son drives the 51, though I haven't had him try parallel parking, yet. lol.

Well, I thought about it and if having to use more than one finger to park is muscular, then yeah they both are that. But by no means do you need to turn green and hulk out.
