Muscle car envy, or just plain stupid ?

Was cruising in my '84 short wide, it had a built 440/4spd, locked 4.88's, ET Streets etc, the thing was ridiculously loud with a very low deep exhaust note. It would set of car alarms idling through parking lots. So anyway, pull up to a redlight and a kid in a fart piped white Honda starts revving his turd fit to throw the rods out of it, and I ignore him. Light turns green and off he goes, albeit slowly.

This goes on for the next three lights and we hit a clear stretch of road. He's still making an *** of himself goosing the Honda. I was loafing along in fourth, finally got a belly full. I slipped it in second, mashed the clutch and when the 440 hit the limiter at 6700 I moved my foot off the clutch pedal. I'm pretty sure you could hear the motor for six blocks around. It scared the kid so bad he jerked the wheel of the Honda and he wobbled over into the center turn lane.

Grinning like a fool, I dropped it back in fourth and continued loafing down the street.....
