Now this was a blast!!!! A couple years back is when we did this. Never been scared in a car before, but this one did it and I am being serious.

On a long straight he hammered through the gears to the point of me being very uncomfortable. I asked him "I would've never been able to tell my wife what happened" and he smiles and said "they would've figured it out"....

Looks like fun. I think the scariest ride I was in a fiberglass '23 T Bucket. It had spoked motorcycle tires in front with no brakes and 31" Mickey Thompson's in rear with drum brakes.

Did I mention it had a 429 Cobra Jet with a tunnel ram running dual 4's and No seat belts!

Yeah, that sounds dangerous! I know a person that has a T-Bucket also, bounced the big rear off a cement barrier and nearly lost it, also no belts. Well, what good would belts do in a T-Bucket anyhow!! This cobra had a 5 point harness, and he did put the extra rear chrome roll bar on it for the passenger.
