Remember the Cars with the 340 Duster album cover?? As a young MoPar dude I was very impressed when I saw that album in the store.

A buddy of mine back in the 80's we called Fatty (AKA Steve Leonard - Budnicks knew who he was) rewrote Shut Down by the Beach Boys. Changes are in red:
It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool shorts standin' side by side
Yeah, a fuel injected Stingray and my 426
Were revvin' up our engines and it sounds real slick
Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down
Declinin' numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
The Stingray's light the slicks are startin' to spin
But the 426 is really diggen in
Gotta be cool now button shift here we go
Superstock Dodge is winding out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really startin' to go
To get the traction I'm ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin' that machine's too much
Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
And now the fuel injected Stingray is really startin to shrink
He's hot with fuel injection but it's understood
I got a ram inducted wedge sittin' under my hood
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Now that ladies and gentlemen is how the story really went.
I can't not press further and further on the accelerator
