The need for speed.......
I was talking to my sister in laws dad last night about his old GTO. The car is long gone, but I finnally got some real info out of him.
Me, "I heard you had a GTO that was pretty quick."
Him, "Yeah, it was the fastest car in Orange County for almost two years."
Me, "Really, what'd it run."
Him, "10.21 @ 134"
Needless to say, I picked his brain about that car all night, and I'm talking to him about building a car. It was a '65 4spd, 389 tri-power swapped for dual 4bbls, and a roller cam. We can't afford a GTO at 8k for a decent roller, so I'm going to work on getting him excited about an early 60's Fairlane or mid size Merc.
I can tell he wants to do it too, some of his friends have replica cobras, an 03 Cobra and an 02 zo6. Just thought I'd share.
