Camaro ss is governed at 130...atleast ours was.

Ya.....they dropped it bigtime Fugi.  They called a box a GTO.  It was a very feeble attempt by Pontiac to sell a box with 4 wheels.
Pontiac lost their way somewhere.  They were a forerunner in muscle.  I have no idea what happened to Pontiac to cause the end
of that brand.

I've always liked GTOs........one of my best friends Robbie Saare had one, 69 with a 400 in it.  Beautiful car.  I've always been partial
to the 389 with tri-power. Another buddy of mine Denny had a 69 also....convertible.  Dark green with white interior.  Absolutely gorgeous!  Remember the
Tach on the hood? Both of them had the tach on the hood.  I at that time had a Plymouth Sport Fury Conv. with a 383 and 4.33 rear end.  What a great time in automobile history.
Mustang had the Mach I,  Camaro had the RS/SS.  Hemis, 427 Chevys and Fords.....my favorite Ford engine was the 428 Cobra.  I thought
the 428 was better then both the ford 427 and 429.  You'll probably think I'm crazy I thought the chevy 327 was their best engine.  More HP per cu/in and reliable.
Even Olds got into the muscle car business with the 442....not really fast but quick enough for a luxury muscle car.  Buick had the Gran Sport etc.  Great days!

 pontiacs back then i think were the top of the line performers from gm. i'm not quite sure how chevy ended up getting that sopt, since pontiacs generally slapped them around as if they were fords. maybe it was the fact the pontiac kept using friggin white interiors?

not sure...was an older one.....but honestly....... I didn't slow down to talk to him.




but in all reality the driver is who you are racing...(like it is in ah its not the plane you fight so much but the pilot)....I was in a 86 trans am once(fastest it would go was 115) and raced a new Mustang.....he took right off but because he wouldn't do what I did I ended up smoking him.....he didn't want to hit the breakdown lane at 110 mph....while I didn't hesitate.

I used to race flying mile on the exact same road we used to access "everglades jetport where we set the standing mile record 30 years later.

Many of my friends still laugh remembering thier spin into the sawgrass and water.

I remember ..
..workin on a survery crew out of town all weekend out in the boonies of AZ/New Mexico
Comin back to town after a hard week..
Friday afternoon/evenin cleanin up the copper metallic '67 Hemi GTX that was waitin in my driveway..
..cruisin Saturday on Central Avenue.

The 2nd week I had the car I took all the Hemi badges off.
People would come up to a light and stop a car length back..
..there were exceptions ..now an then.

A blown Pontiac Judge fulla crazies yellin 'Mopar is NoCar' etc..
..damn if he didn't get me by a fender .. and we went for it off five different stoplights in a row
Pulled into the Library parkin lot on McDowell and he tells me there weren't many
cars in Phoenix that stayed with him nearly as well as ol' GTX did
We ogled each other's rides ..
he was shakin his head ..wonderin what that 426 would be like with his blower on it.
I told him it would need a lot more tire in the back and we both laughed ..ohh yaaaa.

I met a nice lady at the Pavs a few weeks ago ..
..her and her husband drove their black/red interior
'67 Hemi GTX convertible in .. we both ogled each others rides
She lamented the fact that they didn't drive it much anymore ..
..it got 8mpg .. I laughed ..told her my GTX averaged 4mph on a night down Central

Yes. . the good times are here.
Sittin at a lite next to another Challenger the other day..he revs it !!
We 'raced' to the opposite crosswalk .. I ..umm ..smoked him.
Old habits die hard ..when he revved it I switched feet-pedals and got ready
..all the old school tricks
Of course Kathy said 'Don't you DARE!'
As If.
Was very much gone on him when green showed.
He waved and turned left at the next light.
Good times

Ya ..it's got a Hemi

Red Hemi Challenger .. I mean .. what's not to like?
Kind of the paradigm for musclecar ..yanno?

Now all it needs is a Dana 60 in the back swingin on a 4-link, a shiny blower thru the hood with a good lookin scoop,
..and big tars tubbed out the back to hook it
