A friend of mine in high school drove a '77 vette with an L82 V8, and typically
got beaten off the mark by friends with beater Dusters and 'Cudas with 340s.

After a couple of years, my friend went to a new mechanic to get a tune-up, new
spark plug wires, air filter, etc. The mechanic called him to take a look at
something -- he pulled out 6 NGK plugs that were nicely glazed and 2 AC Delco
plugs from the back 2 cylinders that were burned to a crisp.

Turns out the last guy never bothered replacing the back 2 plugs...
