Yeah stop this now...

I had a 79 Z/28 with a B&M ratchet shifter. One day I was up shifting from 3rd and went straight into reverse while doing 35. The car did a quick hop and I shot back wards while pealing out. This all happened at the blink of an eye and I almost **** myself, my CD player even skipped! Luckily the lady who was behind me swerved over or else I would have hit her. She flipped me off and called me a F'in idiot.




Got it to run 12.78@109 Not to bad for a 20 year old. Oh... how I miss those days

I had a navy blue '80 like yours- always thought the car had sexy lines. That was back in the day where a TH400 could handle reverse drops!!!
