Default Re: Most Impressive Stock Muscle Car

The fastest car I ever had a chance to take a ride in was a real 427 cobra roadster that was being tuned up at a friend's shop. There was a story about these cars going from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in a city block. The stories are true, I have never been shoved in and out of a seat so hard since. The next car was a 68 big block roadster with a crate LS7, GM over the counter flares and Goodyear blue streaks. The car was set up for auto crossing. The owner brought the car to the gas station I worked at to charge the battery. I had to make sure the car would start before the owner got back so I decided to take the car for a little spin. I nailed the throttle at one end of the gas station and ended up sliding sideways between the pumps totally out of control and stopping with in inches of the pizza parlor next door. The last car that impressed me was a 1969 Z/28 that had a replacement 350 LT1 crate motor in it. A friend was looking to buy the car for $2,200.00 and the seller took us 3 teenagers for a ride in the car. With 4 people in the car I can still remember how hard that car pulled in every gear.
