My dad sold Fords, and brought home a new 1962 Galaxy with a 427ci, 425hp and let the neighbors drive it around. Mom got in and floored it, laying at least 30ft of rubber on the street in front of our house. Those really were the good old days!

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.
