Undefeated on the street !!!

My street days were in the 70's. Lived in the DC suburbs and there were at least a dozen "hangouts", fast food joints, shopping centers, church parking lots:) etc. around the beltway in Md & Va where everyone gathered. Very few daily drivers at the time would run better than 13 oh's. Most of the big boys only came out once or twice a month.

Gotta remember, at that time, Pump gas was like race gas today...Sunoco 260 @ .50 or less per gallon...and you could run any compression you wanted. While there were some fast big block cars that showed up, the best street cars ran small blocks w/ 4spd's, compression, medium solid grinds & huge gears. Like 4.88 to 5.38.

My buds 70' 340 Cuda, auto. w/ 5.13's went 12.70's and hooked so well that the high 11, low 12 big block cars never had a chance to catch him.

I had a 396 4spd 4.10 Chevelle at the time that went hi 12's and beat everyone i "decided" to race, but had no chance against that car on the street.
