Ha! That reminds me of shortly after I'd purchased my '64 GTO.
A friend had put a 327 engine into a '55 Chevy, and it was pretty quick too. So one night we decided to see who was quicker.

I still hadn't mastered launching that Goat, and when we took off I watched his taillights disappear down the road while I sat there spinning the tires in a cloud of smoke. Thought I'd broken something, lol.

He even beat me from a slow rolling start as I still broke 'em loose in 1st.

And THAT reminds me of driving the GTO home from the dealer.

Came to an intersection where the light had just changed to yellow. In the old '50 Ford I traded in, if I stomped on it, I could have made it through before the light turned red, so I stomped on it. Didn't realize I was in 2nd gear, (first 4-speed I ever owned) and burned rubber all through the intersection.

Lucky there were no cops around, lol.
