Just got home...

From Roseburg/Winston. Been there since Thursday visiting my aunt. While I was there I dropped in on one of my friends, and got a ride in his (1 of 6) '96 Hurst/Firebird! , and checked out his freshly finished Gretian Green '67 Z/28 (he also has a concours quality black '67 Z/28). Also saw a real nice gunmetal grey GTA while driving in Roseburg. Anyway, it was a fun trip.

Not near as brutal as my '68 Hurst/Olds. Silky smooth. '96 was a Firebird, '97 and later was a TransAm. Not sure what the 1/4 times are.

That Racing Champions site is full of s**t. Notice the '69 Yenko at 13.5??? Even my Hurst/Olds is quicker than that. It looks like they have decided on making some diecasts, and needed to justify another of their endless series with a lot of bogus info. There are a lot of cars missing from that list. A high 15 sec. Prowler shouldn't be on anyone's top 50 quickest list.

I do wish that they had included my '68 in there, cuz I'd love to have a 1:64 of it, even though I mainly collect 1:18.
