I think my first drive and ride is still the most memorable. The car wasn't really an exotic, but it was fast. It was a 1961 Pontiac Catalina with a competition 421 NASCAR motor installed at the dealer when purchased new. 3x2 barrel carbs and a ton of torque. The car itself weighed in at 2800 pounds, swiss cheese frame and all. Three on the tree and a 3.50:1 rear axle. Pulled like a freight train up through the gears and was about as competitive as you can get in '61. The car was untouchable on the street in 1961.
