Something to be proud of...

[7240z]

Hi guys! I was at the sports club meeting here in Cebu and was talking to my dad's old friend who had a red 1969 Corvette Stingray and he told me about this gathering in Subic Air Force Base which was at sometime the biggest US air force base in the world. Now that the military has abandoned the area, Manila based car collectors have this annual vintage sports car club that goes to Subic and drag race one another. I'm talking about Shelby gt350's, Shelby 427 Cobras,Corvettes, Big block Mustangs,GTO's and other muscle cars. Anyway, guess who won the final drag race which was paired up with a black 1967 Stingray hardtop? It was a 1972 Datsun 240z!!! My dad's friend said after the race was done, everyone gathered around the Z and asked the owner to open the hood cause they were all saying that he probably modified the engine but they were all shocked to see the engine was totally stock and very dirty! The owner just couldn't stop laughing! Its a nice thought to own something that can beat these brutes at their own game! I just wanted to share this story with you guys cause I knew you would understand.
