Reminds me of a funny story around 1977.

I had a hot looking '65 Corvette, lowered, sidepipes, L-88 hood, 370hp LT-1 motor, Can-Am fender flares.One evening, very light traffic, I pull up to this intersection in the left lane, and some guy in a GTO pulls next to me on my right. He starts revving up his motor a few times, and I do the same. By now, I can see the cross traffic light going to yellow, so I bring my revs to a steady 3000rpm, by now this guy is going nuts waiting for the light to change.When the light turns green, and for about a quick second, I opened the Holley up, that kid next to me just punches it and burns rubber and fishtailes his Goat through that intersection for 150 feet. Unbeknownst to the kid, I was just making a left hand turn. I wonder how far he went before he realized I wasn't even in the left lane !!
