I dunno if the new ones are really that slow, or if my truck is really that fast...
the story:
I'm at a stoplight in the left turn lane, with a brand new, temporary license plate Monte Carlo in front of me... light turns green, we turn, and I floor it in the 77 C20. (454 with 400 HP, 500 Ft/lbs) he of course hears this, since only dead people who were deaf durring thier lives, and had no ears, and wore earmuffs to thier own funeral can filter out most the noise, and depresses his accelerator... so, I say what the hell, and keep mine firmly planted to the floor... although I never passed him, he never got any farther away then he was when I hit the gas, until I let off ( 90+ MPH, about 1/3 mile down the road)
question I have, of course is are the new monte carlos really that slow, or should I drop the $20 to take it down to Firebird raceway, and run a time trial some weekend?
