From 1987: Ultimate Top Speed Shootout Is a Gathering of Eagles From the Archive: Gunning for 200 mph and beyond with the fastest street cars in America, among them an AMG Hammer, a Ferrari Testarossa, Callaway Corvettes, and more. From the December 1987 issue of Car and Driver. It was hard to believe it was actually happening. At ten o’clock on a summer’s eve, in a garage in the middle of nowhere, the cars began to arrive. One by one, the fastest street machines in America rolled out of the pitch-black Ohio night and through the double-high garage doors, as if drawn by the bright lights inside. The Eagles were gathering.
