In the Mid 80's I had a '66 Ford Fairlane GT. It had a pretty hot 390 ford that my DAD built for me.
It would lift the front wheels off the ground on the rare times it would get traction. I had it over 140mph on PCH along bolsa chica beach...with every seat filled. The car flew. I got my ass handed to me by a R5 in traffic it was soo fricken small it could stitch threw traffic where my big ass fairlane wouldn't fit
