    A friend of mine had a Plymouth superbird the tail fin wing didn't add even a fraction of a second more speed or better control. over my GTX but he though he looked cool driving it. and honking the goofy horn Beep-Beep.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Get both cars on a super speedway where the Superbird had an actual aero advantage and it's different story.

    Might be true but he never could take me in the 1/4 mile. A different driver in the bird may have made some difference. and that was a big maybe. not even sure he could have outrun my pickup. For sure not after a dropped a 383 magnum in it with the 4.88 rear end Micky Thompson N50s, most 440s and 426 hemi couldn't take it in the 1/8 but I ran out of revs in a `1/4. That green superbird was a chick magnet though I will give it that. Pretty sure it was the horn that got them.

    Because it had almost five hundred pounds of fiberglass attached to it that was never intended for a drag strip.

    It's always the horn that gets them.
