During a recent car cruise in the local city we were caught next to a mid eighties malibu, wheelie bars narrowed rear end prostreet hood scoop battery cutoff on the trunk. All of the ear marks of a drag car on the road. I don't think he could believe it when he couldn't get away from the little nova. Not really a clear winner as we ran out of road. I've won my fair share of races but I remember this one the best.
