| have to chime in here I had a 70 black imperial 2 dr coupe , 440, 2.5 single exhaust about late 1971 . Had just gotten rid of new 70 440 challenger rt convert ( burnt orange) decided time to “ calm down” . Trouble with local cops, after me , due to challenger. Imperial had black padded roof small rear window , way cool mafia car . Anyway coming out of Boston at 2 AM ( i skip preceding part) I get into a mini race with Porsche , he passes me on inside at rotary ( route2 Cambridge) going like hell. No doubt in similar shape to myself . Sliding on the bumps . Almost lost it. So about a mile further on route 2 a long steep , uphill grade in Belmont we called “ mile hill” I stand on the 440 uphill (!) it soon indicates 120- 125 , he is downshifting etc can barely stay with Imp I am in front . Over top of hill he goes by me about 140 , but I beat him to top . Just then my car fills with smoke ! Out of back seat ; exhaust pipe had hole over axle top , it had set the trunk rug on fire! A few minutes wot might do that ! , he sees me slow , pull over , fire in trunk he comes back . I had 2 six packs in back = put out fire . ( awwwright!) Had to buy a new tire too. He is cracking up ,— , I am busy !! . “ what have you got in this barge ?” 440 . “I can’t keep up uphill !” He became a friend , was founder of the Gap , clothing store Harvard square . So yeah, you need those pads ... ! John
