Boss 302 myths

I remember back in 1969 watching a guy unload a black Z28 at our local strip.I was 16 at the time and car crazy.I chatted with the owner briefly as he took it off the trailer. It was a 4 speed with headers, 410's and cheater slicks. He ran 13.10 his first past.It was a beautiful car and i was quite taken by the car and it's performance.That was pretty fast in 1969.
I confess..i do like the 55 Chev,Boss 302,Z28 and many other non mopars.
