Your Earliest Fast Car Experiences?

In 67 when I was 16 my dad bought a new 67 New Yorker which came with a 440. It was pretty quick, you could embarrass people in base engine muscle cars by running even with them.
In the summer of 69 when I graduated high school I was hanging out at a gas station where a friend worked. Another guy who worked there had a 66 Corvette coupe. He bought a new L88 427 from the Chevy dealer and put it in the car, along with headers, 4:88 gears and slicks. I ended up towing him to the track with my 66 A100. He would drive the car on the street some too. One day he was going for a ride and I went with him. He backed over to the edge of the station's lot, revved it way up and side stepped the clutch. I was instantly pinned to the seat and staring into space because the front of the car was about 2 ft. off the ground. Talk about making an impression on this 18 year old kid!
