Mopar vs Rice

Just a reality check here:

I was a teenager in the 70's. All the fast guys were older than me. Had better paying jobs. And owned the 396 Chevelles...427 `Vettes...and the Hemis. I was just a green kid who wanted to be in the game. So....

My first car was a 2 door `64 Dodge Polara hardtop. It had the old 318 poly...cast iron torqueflite...and an open rear. That didn't stop me from taking a hack-saw to my exhaust and installing about 3' of flex-pipe mounted to a pair of Hush Trush mufflers, bolting a set of Gabrielle Hi-Jackers (which put the trunk high enough to rest your chin on...), and a set of bright yellow Lakewood traction bars to compliment my H-60-14's that stuck out past the fender lips. Then I had the nerve to cruise down to Connecting Highway or Laurel Hill...or Cross Bay Blvd. ALL the 'Hot Spots" for serious street action in NYC "back in the day".

Now, what made ME any different than what we see with today's kids?


BTW: early reports indicate that the new Nissan GT-R laps the Nurburgring FASTER than a Porsche Turbo.

Like I said a while ago:
