383 true or false

Ya, my first car was a 72 Swinger. It had a 318 with edelbrock carb and intake, 904, 7 1/4 rear with 2:76 gears. We were dragging main street one night and a guy in a Ferrari pulled up next to me. He started revving his engine, so I complied. We were sitting pole position. The heat is rising. vrooom vrooooooom he goes. Rummm RUUUMMMMMM I go. The light is still red. We stare eachother down. Lucky for us, two cop cars pull up and see the situation and block off all other lanes of traffic. Then this hot collage chick came to the intersection to flag us. We stair straight ahead. Rumm RUUUUMMMMMM. The car was shaking. She drops the flag. I dropped by clutch and the front wheels must have been seven feet in the air. The car shifts hard, I am about two and a half car lengths in front of the Ferrari. About half way down the 1/4, my front wheels finally touch the ground again. I am about four car lengths ahead now. My speedo is pegged at 120, but I must have been doing 180 or better. When we finally cross the finish line about nine seconds later. I beat him by six car lengths. The cop at the finish line said he clocked me at 190 and was so impressed, he wanted to race me with his cruiser. But thats a story for a different day. Dang I wish I still had that car.

Good times!
