Here's the only one I have with my Cuda. About 3-1/2 yrs. ago when I first got my Cuda back together with the fresh 360 I took it down to the bottoms where all the locals test their cars. Nice long straight stretch of nice smooth and wide highway with plenty of room to see oncoming traffic. Just for the record I don't make a practice of street racing at all and generally ignore guys that want to race me or I stop and invite them to go to the track to race me. I was just coming to a stop to do a test run to see how it felt and a long time buddy came out of no where in his 68 Chevelle with a pretty stout built 355 with drag radials vs. my street tires so since he threw down the gauntlet I couldn't back down. Naturally he hooked much better with the drag radials and got me by about a car length out of the gate but by the time I hit second I was gaining on him at a pretty good rate. When I hit 3rd it was all over as he was already about 2 cars behind me. At the end I had him by about 3 car lengths. Really surprised me to beat him by so much. I think it surprised him quite a bit too. He was cool about it and just said he'd better take his back home and work on it some more, LOL
