At 15 I was intriqued with speed but had never experienced it until I got a ride in my dads friends completely stock 67 Z28 302" car with 4:88's. The car was such a sleeper- even had plain black steel wheels with 70 series redlines and seemed so tame - until he unloaded it in 2'nd gear and pinned me in the seat and held me there- the sound of him rowing that 4'speed at 7800 has lit a fire that I don't think will ever go out.
It was a truely awesome experience that has caused me to spend my money to keep reliving that excitement.
1 month later I had my 70' 383 Cuda and it all began...
