Fastest Street Cars In Your Town, 'Back In The Day'

The fastest street car in my town, and I mean street car, was my friends 71 Chevelle SS.

Started as an SS 396 (402) but he swapped out to a crate 502, and built it up from there. Extensive port work, solid roller cam and so on.

Ran mid 11s and was his daily driver (and only car) for years. The 502 had modest compression (under 9.1) allowing regular pump gas.
