I had a friend with a very fast Mustang. His brother was the mechanic for the Pontiac police. This was during a time when street racing was big along Highway 10 (Woodward Ave), so they needed pursuit cars that could keep up. The brother applied his expertise to the Mustang. It was rapid.

After twenty years of peaceful ignorance you've made me start thinking about trading in my family for a full face helmet.
