Horsepower Makes Us Proud

Rednecks make parts in the basement They've mastered piston emplacement They'll bore out a block To be bigger than stock Displacement has no replacement Author's note. A really great guy in the office has a classic '67 Firebird that will go really fast and has fun taking it to car shows in the area. This is part of American culture. Yahoooo!
