LOL…too funny. And absolutely true.
My first car was a 72 Demon 340 4 speed. Is only been driving a few weeks and all my friends and I (we had the experience of exactly ZERO with anything except trying to get the girls in the car) had convinced ourselves that this thing was turning 7500!!!
I told my dad what I thought and he said you are all full of ****. You’ll be lucky if it’s turning 5500 and that’s a stretch.
The next day I skipped a class and ran to the local speed shop (you could do that in 1980) and snagged a tach. Wired it up in shop.
And the disappointment was staggering. 5100 and that was it.
That was all she had.
I seriously considered taking the tach out because it hurt my pride a bit but I sucked it up and left it in there.
