Dreams

1966 GTO, AKA Goat, Limited Special, very few produced, never advertised, no chrome, plain wheels, single red emblem below the GTO fender marque. Out of the box time averaged low 11's high 10's, with very little tweaking you get it into the 9's

It was Evil Wicked Mean And Nasty.

Second choice, GS 455 Buick Skylark Special, Stage III, in 1970 Hot Rod Mag called it the street sleeper of the 60's decade. I worked for a Buick dealer in the early 70's, one of the local Laywers had bought one for his son. I had to test drive it, the son told me to stand up on it. I did.
To quote what''s is name from Stargate, the Movie.

GAWD! WHATTA RUSH

(If you bought a Stage IV, it came with a very large window sticker informing you that it had No Warranty )
