Firebird 67-68

The first fast street car I ever rode in was a 1968 Firebird 400 convertible with a six-pack, 411 gear and a four-speed. I was sixteen at the time and had never been over 60 mph riding with my parents. My friend who was nineteen, took me for a ride in it. He went out to a country road that had about a half mile straight in it and comes to a stop. Then he proceeded to rev up the engine and go through the gears til we hit a 110 mph. I had never felt anything like that before. When we got back to the house, my knees were shaking as I got out of the car. I know I got off topic a little but the post reminded me of this experience.
