Beautiful car!! Take no offence, just having a little fun with the thread :)

I too miss the days without all the labels. Honestly, with mine, years ago nobody really cared it was a "real" Z. " old Camaro with an ugly color,lol(now)"

I hear you there.  :)

All there were back in the 70's were the cool cars, wicked cars, and the stupidly fast cars. "Nobody" cared about numbers back then, just how fast it was, who it beat on the street, how well it could hook, and how nice the paint was.

Paint was a biggy, and if it was custom (i.e. House of Kolors Candy) it "always" drew a crowd.

I liked those days. :)

I like those wide open roads with the long straight stretches. What part of the country is that?

Western Canada

Just east of the Rockies in what is known as the foothills of Alberta. This is where I live and these roads are always wide open and free. I often drive the muscle cars on this road in the summer months. About a 120 mile afternoon loop through the mountains with very little traffic, except for the Mountain Sheep.

It doesn't look it could get any better, between the car, the roads, and the scenery! Unless, I guess, you just smoked a Mustang.  ;D

Funny you should say that... ;D

That day I shot that video was my birthday on Oct 23rd. Just 4 miles from getting home I see this Roush Mustang all decal'ed up on the hood and doors (Parnelli Jones Trans Am Style) lined 4 back in the left lane as I cruise up to the red light with me in the right lane. He immediately jumps to the right and pulls in behind me. Light turns green and I roll through first, shift to second while holding rpm around 4500 and he takes the left and sits back along my left quarter but hangs there and doesn't move up. I drop into third at about 3500 just before posted speed sign goes back to 100kph and the guys still on my left so I hammer it. He immediately does the same and the game is on. I drive up through 6500 and pull 4th and he's 1.5 lengths behind me after the shift so I lifted in fourth. He drives around me and then lifts, and I immediately grabbed my phone to shoot the ass end of his 09 Mustang and put another Furd to bed in 3rd gear. :P

No lie...it totally capped my day off where I had a sh*t assed grin when I got home a few minutes later.

Always a fun day beating a mustang! Though none of them come out and play when I'm in the 68, lol. The last thing the 68 beat was a 69 roadrunner as I was headed to a car show.
