I worked @ a Ford dealer (nite shift haha) & we road tested a lot of stuff (raced). I think it was a 289 Mustang (cobra)(shelby)?? (whatever it was it was factory). 273 hp from a 289 was good @ that time. I was impressed!! It went around corners good as well, but the Toronto cop outguessed me & took a short cut. Didn`t catch me though, but watched from a stop sign as I did (probably) an UNcontrolled 4 wheel drift through an S bend. 2 turns later I was back @ the dealership, parked keys in pocket walking to the door with my shop foreman when I heard the familiar sound of a \6 (mechanical lifters) ticking behind me, then, TOOT TOOT, "were you guys just driving that car"??!! What car? No sir, (exhaust snapping & cracking as it cooled) when???!! So he gets out of his car & wants to look at it while saying he never saw anything that fast. After a chat (of course I revieled the keys so he could look inside & under the hood) he suggested we build a test track if it was necessary to road test for complaints of "no power"! HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA
OH the GOOD old Days EH! Best regards, George
