It Didn't Happen....
« on: November 13, 2005 - 07:12:15 PM »
The day I first met Rev-It-Up & Redline, Red said that my '69 would probably set off car alarms.  He was right. I set one off in the Target parking lot on Saturday. It's not so much loud as it is very deep and throaty. No way to diguise the sound of a big ole high horsepower Hemi. N-e-ways, on to the funny story.  On my way home from installing seat belts in the passenger seat, a 2004 or 2005 Z06 Corvette pulled up beside me at a redlight. The top was down and the driver shouted over in my direction--"what do you have in that thing"?  I responded--"just a little ole 318".  He said--"yea right---one for each wheel".  After that small exchange of words, he eased on without so much as a whimper. A little intimidation goes a long way!  It was funny, a 30+ year old car got his full attention.  There will be more little stories, and I will pass them on.............Oldschool

Ha, that 'Vette owner knew what was up!  I don't know what I'd do if you pulled up alongside me at a stoplight and I was in my little Toyota. (Come to think of it, the Hemi would probably bust my Corolla apart. lol)

LOL!! Great story, it was either the HEMI, roll bar or Koosiers that gave it away.

This car is a beast!  You just stand next to it and you get this big stupid grin on your face.  You can hear it coming from a long way away and then you feel it coming.  It's an awesome car...I'm so glad you found us Oldschool! It's been a real treat!

  I agree...i was able to drive over and see and hear this beast...wow...at the small cruise-in sunday. When Oldschool and Mrs. Oldschool were leaving i commented to one of the other folks watching that all it needed was an electric exhaust cut-out like Rev-It-Up and Redline have on their RT/SE...until Oldschool blipped the throttle and i realized nah, it's fine as is  :thumbsup:
