Thanks for the link Jeff !

My favorite part of 2LBT is the first 5 minutes. That street racing scene brings back memories of when I was in So. Cal. in the early 80's.

Plus, that '55 Chevy reminds me of my first hot rod:
'69 Road Runner..
4 speed...4.88 gears and someone put a stock eliminator engine in that car and street raced it.
It had a 413 Max Wedge...cross ram 2 -4-bbls..solid cam...high compression, Accel dual point dizzy,etc.

I paid the guy $ 1,200 for it and burned rubber all the way home. Lucky I didn't get a ticket that day.

Those were truly the glory days for muscle cars for me...they were cheap because gas was high and nobody wanted big blocks.
