Default '69 440 6-pack Super Bee gets bit...

There was a car show in the town across the river for Mopars, lotsa nice stuff there. So, I'm headed back to the house when I see this comp orange Super Bee going the same way as I am. I catch up slowly and match his speed to give props when I notice the black scoop and Six Pack lettering on it. We catch a light and I tell him nice car. He says "It's my grocery getter" I reply ""Funny, so's this one". The light changes and we roll out in 1st slowly. I tap the gas ever so slightly and he goes. Instantly I'm in the gas and the MT's dead hook. WOT through 1st and powershift to 2nd cleanly with a long squawk and a wiggle, through 2nd and lift as I go to 3rd to catch the next light. I checked for him as I hit 3rd and he was 3 full cars back and straining to keep up. I love running across these old school guys. They just don't have a clue what the Terminators are about.

Hell I know this but the guy had street tires on and wouldn't have been able to put the power down if he had it.
