I’ll bet my poodle is quicker off the line (for a foot or so), too.

Back in 1980, I owned a 1969 Cougar with a 351 Windsor engine and had 60 series tires on the back with 70 series on the front. It was tuned nice and went like a raped ape.

I raced a friend of mine who had a 1979 Camaro Z28 with a 3 speed manual tranny strapped onto the stock 350 cu plant..

I beat his arse off the line for about...100 yards, when he dropped it to 2nd gear, he flew by me easy as pie.

I still liked my Red Cougar better though. It had class.
