Not to mention, there were some really rare exotics there - eye candy for any car lover.

Also there was a Lambo and a Ferrari 458, and a 560 hp Ford V8 powered Sunbeam there that was fun to watch. I spoke with the owner - really nice, down to earth guy.!

Back in 1967 I was just back from Okinawa on leave, and car shopping. One sunday, I spotted a Sunbeam Tiger (poor man's cobra) at a dealership. Back then they were closed on sunday's. Monday morning bright and early, I went down to buy it. IT WAS GONE! They said they sold it. I couldn't beleive they sold it that fast. I ended up at the Chevy dealer and bought a brand new '68 Camaro for $3,011!!

What Paul didn't mention is the Tiger guy said he regularly runs 11.2 sec quarter miles at 130, and I think he did 154 at the half mile. I believe he said his Ford small block is bored and stroked to 363 c.i. Here he is sitting next to Warp Ten--Bob

Well what a matchup that would make between the Sunbeam and Pete's ZR!!

A red c5 had A 474 ci lsx motor built high plenum and the car lighter as well and the other was A white c5 ZO6 I'm not sure what he ran or what it had

I sure would not want to be in the other lane next to a sunbeam @ 150
Can that car really go straight?
Then again I would probably be behind him with those #'s
