My first experience in a true muscle car happened in the fall of 1969.I was out with my buds,thumbing our way to town when a guy stopped and picked us up in a brand new Mach1,complete with shaker scoop.I jumped in the back seat,and will never forget what happened next,When he stood on it,all I could see was blue sky!The sound from the pipes to my youthful ears sounded for all the world like a fighter jet going into afterburn.Though I rode in many potent muscle cars after that,the desire for a BB Mach1 or Cobra has never lessened.A few months ago when I went to test drive a Superformance,I took my 19 year old daughter with me(it's the only thing a responsible gearhead Dad could do,right?).She was ready to give me the money in her college trust fund to buy it on the spot!I think she has now had her"Mach1" experience.
