Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan (even though Johnny Winters version might be even better)
On the Road Again - Canned Heat - what a great cruisin' song!
Rocket 88 — Jackie Brenston & Ike Turner - a real oldie from the late 40s but really good
I Can't Drive 55 - Sammy
Hotrod Honeymoon - Jeff Beck
Roadrunner - Bo Diddley - but the killer version is by The Who
Black Limousine - Rolling Stones
Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen

There's a bunch more but this is enough for now...
Enjoy!

I've always liked the "beep beep" song from the late '50s.
Classic, How do you get this thing out of second gear!!

Ok, in "Shut it Down", it is the Sting-Ray that is fuel injected, and the "413" is the "dual quad" car racing against the 'Vette.
No mistake.
No mistake.
Little more to the story of shut it "down" then most people know, We all hear how the 413 would blow the vett away, But they was not talking about stock cars
It happened on the strip where the road is wide**
Two cool shorts* standing side-by-side**
Yeah, a fuel-injected Stingray and my 413,
We’re revvin’ up our engines and it sounds real mean
*John Chrisman reports on the word shorts -- "I’m not sure if this was a regional west coast term, but "short" in the 1960’s was a slang term for a hot rod, ride, car, wheels, etc...." Thanks John!
Brent E. Rossow adds: 1) "Shorts refers to the relatively short wheelbases of the two cars in question, compared with the full-size cars of the day; And 2)It happened on the strip where the __road is wide__ (as in illegal road drag racing).
Max Wedge Mania: SHUT ’EM UP AND SHUT ’EM DOWN
Donnie Chapman’s 1962 413 Max Wedge Dart whipped the Sting Rays in straight sets.
by Jim Campisano
Tom Sloe made everyone a promise. "I’m gonna beat that Dodge," said the owner of a damn-quick 1964 fuel-injected Corvette roadster.
He made this proclamation after the National Muscle Car Association’s event at Milan Dragway in Michigan, where he lost three close races to Donnie Chapman’s 1962 Max Wedge Dart. It followed a precedent that was set by Edison, N.J.’s Ron Papaleo, whose 1963 fuelie got snuffed by the 413-powered Dart a month earlier in Darlington, S.C.
But while Papaleo never came close to beating Chapman, Sloe did. Papaleo’s split-window coupe was more of a show car, while Sloe’s 1964 was tuned to the cutting edge. Still, Chapman beat him in five straight races, running a best of 12.64 to Sloe’s 13.37. Strong for a stock small-block Chevy, but not nearly enough to top Mother Mopar.
What brought these warriors together was the NMCA’s intention to breathe some life into the Beach Boys’ song "Shut Down." Everyone knows the story: Corvette meets Dodge, Corvette races Dodge, Corvette beats Dodge.
Whoa. We’re talking about a 13.5:1 compression ratio engine, dual- quad-fortified machine with a race-prepped TorqueFlite transmission. Does such a stout Corvette exist on this planet? We did a little homework before the first round of the event.
In an old issue of _Hot Rod_ Magazine, we found a 1962 Vette that was running 12.63 in HGRA A/Sports. Modifications were limited to engine blueprinting, slicks and headers. In the same issue, we noted that the Super Stock ET record was held by Dick Ladeen of Portland, Ore., at 12.71. We figured we had some kind of horse race on our hands.
Sloe’s machine was fitted with the most powerful incarnation of Chevrolet’s small-block, the 375-horsepower 327, and a Muncie 4-speed. Though his 1964 is not the showpiece that Papaleo’s Vette is, it’s still plenty nice.
Chapman’s 413 actually started life as a 361-equipped Tennessee state police vehicle. He had all the necessary parts available to make the car a 413 and figured, "Why not?" He built his Dart specifically for the NMCA’s Shut Down series.
Marshall Jeffers put the Ramcharger V8 together using stock factory goodies. Donnie maintains the only deviations from stock are an .030-inch overbore and a Racer Brown cam.
The 727 TorqueFlite was also freshened up by Jeffers, and for good measure he added a TCI converter with a 3000-rpm stall speed. The 8 3/4-inch rear houses 4.30 gears.
Body and paint chores were handled by Steve Elkens, who also refurb- ished the interior. The entire car, an undeniable show-stopper, was completed in two months’ time.
Down in Memphis, home of Elvis Presley, barbecue cooking and mosquitos with the tenacity of pit bulls, Sloe made good on his promise--sort of. In the first round, neither gentleman ran a particularly good race, but Sloe cut the better light and emerged the winner with a 14.211 at 101.63 to Chapman’s 14.193 at 91.05.
The Corvettes finally got on the scoreboard. Unfortunately for them, it would be the last time they would do so. In the next round, Donnie ran an unreal 12.27 at 109.38 to Sloe’s 13.15 at 104.48.
"I put in a set of those Japanese spark plugs," said Chapman, explaining how he managed to knock .5 second off his previous low ET.
From that point on, it was Dodge all the way, though Sloe did a com- mendable job driving the plastic Chevy. His last three races netted him ET slips that read 13.36, 12.96 and 13.41. Impressive but hardly up to the task, since Donnie’s times were 12.41, 12.51 and 12.69.
As for Ron Papaleo and his 1963 split-window Vette, he was content to watch the action from the sidelines and take the event’s Best of Show award.
Now the Beach Boys know why there was nobody meaner than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena.
