No doubt there were some fast cars out there, Vikki!
I missed the chance to try a '71 Sebring with a breathed-on 440-6 when my Firebird refused to shift down into first at 30 mph, and second was slow enough that he didn't think my car was worth a top end run. Could have been fun!
I had set up my suspension for much better than stock handling, and the top speed runs were arrow straight and one finger if I was foolish enough. Slowing down required braking in stages to avoid cooking the brakes though, even with discs and semi-metallic pads.
