Vintage Vette Kill
So I was out with the wife running errands this afternoon and came across a clean green '63-'67 vette rag top driven by an older dude probably in his 50's. We met at stoplight and I threw a couple revs to get his attention.
He did not appear to pay much attention so I figured that he wasn't interested in beating on his car. Well, the light turned green and he hits it hardand I was more than happy to obilige.
Since i wasn't expecting himto playhe got a quick half car+but I quickly reeled him and puttwo to threecars on him beforng shutting down about half way through third.
We both slowed down and were door to door and he gave a big smile and weshared athumbs up. Glad to see a guy out there enjoying his ride instead of treating it like a permanentgarage show piece. My wife got a big kick out two grown men acting like kids. Just thought I'd share...

That's a lot of yearswith lots of possibledifferent motors. Even the fastest 67 427 with 500+ ponies only ran 5.4 0-60 in the books.

That was more likely due to their crappy bias ply old school tires.
