This was taken at my buddy's house on the 4th. I chastised him because I was not invited.

He owns the '68, and the 5th gens belong to his neighbors. I figured the black paint lovers would like this photo.

That describes his car perfectly. Sigh.

I'm aware...I just hoped you would be more familiar with the sport to realize that's not the right context for the word.

I thought the same thing. You can definitely see the heritage in the 5th gens.

When I read "dragster" I kinda thought of alcohol racers as well... Or at least something with a chute.
