Default Where do you shift your BB?

.......so, this past Saturday, my 5 childhood friends show-up with a bushel of Maryland Crabs, (Old Bay seasoning of course) REAL HOAGIES (or sub-sandwiches as some call them) from Chester, Pa. and some Coors Lights for a belated 50th....YEA...I said 50th BD Party. After talking about the days of the all the cars we had (AND WISH WE KEPT....like the green 69 396/375 Nova SS with benchseat and T400 on the column I DIDN'T BUY and bought a 65 SS Impala with a 396/325) instead...DUH?!, spitting crab shells and drinking the hot sauce, at 2:30 am Sunday we head for the garage.....Yes, I took it out. Woke the neighbors up after puttin heat into the motor and took it on the Marne Highway. NOW, I don't know where you guys live, but even the Jersey Mosquitos were pissed when I shifted 1-2 the 2-3 at 7800! At 6800 in 3rd, I lifted in fear of the Mt Laurel pole-leece, and the needle being buried past 120mph...GOD as my witness, let alone the Stahl Tell-Tale tach! Man, I think I got the Baddest-Ass Musle car like the previous post asks for everyone opinion. If any of you get to South Jersey, drop me a line. The crabs, the Coors and the ride you will NEVER forget is on me!

"This beast is still pulling @ 7800." Had a home built L-88 in a 68 Camaro convert that would pull through 7200 with a richy 5-speed...man that car was fast.

I was out in my blown Z and pulled 2 gear and it went boom!! It never hit the rev limiter, it blew a head gasket on the right side. It did put down 200 foot of rubber though!

Jeff,

I hope those Hoagies were from Gaetano's. Boy since I move down here those are one of the things I miss the most.

You have guts!!! I have always doubted if Ronnie Sox could drive my Yenko on a few beers. I personallly have a 1 beer limit on my 60 mph burnouts as I tourch the tires all the way through 3rd gear and 1/2 of 4th!

Thinking about that area and growing up there, I just remember all those races on Barton Landing Road. Now it's all houses insteed of the once farm land.

KEEP IT STRAIGHT AND IN THE MIDDLE and (hold those RPM's down)
Good to here from you again.
Keith
