when i was a small child, my father had a ford fairlane with a 390 cid V8, and it was the car he liked the best, and i adored it. i was not interested in the other cars.
it was a very powerful car. it was a 1969 model, and advancements in design were made every year, and automotive evolution progressed.
here is a picture of the exact model of australian fairlane we had. i very much liked our fairlane.
we also had a mercedes and at one point a rolls royce, but the crude and simple fairlane was the car i felt was most capable.
my father was almost always able to have his way in the fairlane.
this following clip is of a fairlane like ours (except for the fake scoop on the bonnet, and the mag wheels and dual exhausts).
our fairlane was just as powerful as this one on take off, but it was not as noisy, because we had only one exhaust pipe.
this is a contest between a turbocharged high performance 2008 model dodge with electronic ignition etc, against an old fairlane with a fake air scoop and mag wheels.
there were many times when my father assumed the outside lane at the lights, and then tramped on the accelerator to get back into the middle lane before colliding with parked cars.
he usually won, and this clip is the closest i will ever come to be able to show how.
it seems to me that the old fairlane may have been faster in that contest , however it is possible that the dodge caught up in the end.
