I’m currently 69 years old and high school class of 1973. I consider ‘67 through ‘71 the golden age of American muscle and I lived through it. In my teens, I knew my cars and knew what I would get if I had the money (I never did). For me it was (and is) Mopar or no car. Anyway, the cool kids had engines that said “bubblegum bubblegum” at idle (we don’t know what they said at 5000 ripems cause it was hard to hear anything). So this engine sound brought me a flood of great memories, even if it was coming from a GM product. Great to hear! 🥸👍👀😊✅
