Modded Early 70's Nova Kill... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

So there I was, on Rt50 in Southern WI., a very straight 4 lane, coming home from a Vette car show (took 3rd place in class btw) As I come through this small town I end up next to an exceptionally nicely turned out early 70's Nova. The car was loud with obvious cam and headers don't know what else. Typical lopey idle. A kid in his 20's driving with his GF. (hat on backwards) At the first light in town we were first and he stabs the throttle to zip away. It was 35mph through town and I didn't bite, but I knew he wanted to play. I stayed just ahead of him through town doing 35mph in second. As we hit the other side of town it turned to 55mph. I could hear him hit the throttle but I had to wait a split second as a car turned left off the highway in from of me. He shoots by me, as soon as I was clear of the car in front I hit my throttle and I reeled him in shooting to his rear quarter panel, I shifted to 3rd and pulled in front. As soon as I got past he shut down. The look on his face was priceless. I luv it when they think they'll dust off some old guy in a crappy C4.
This is just the greatest car!
