Back in the 1970s a buddy of mine had his big brother's car. His big brother had been drafted and was away in Vietnam. The car was a 1967 Barracuda whit a crazy high compression ratio engine rebuild. My buddy would just idle around and was afraid to press the loud pedal much. He said it was terrifying in the rain, and he bough a 59 Beetle to drive in the rain. The only time I saw him hit the go pedal was when the throttle cable was getting sticky. He pressed it enough to get moving but it opened wide open and we were smoking the tires. He just hit the key and we pulled over and he fixed in enough to idle back home.
He would never let anyone else drive that car. I wish I remembered the details of the car but I know it had a rear end that was a Dana and I suspect the 3.58 ratio.
