...lore, from the majority of Americans, who still regard autos as something to trundle them to the supermarket or station and to be used for occasional longer trips. As the initiate knows, the Mach I is neither spaceship nor sound barrier. It is a hyped-up Mustang-one of Ford's fast-moving contenders in what Detroit calls "the muscle-car" market, where the best sales pitch is neck-snapping acceleration. The new Mach I, which can be ordered with an engine of up to 335 h.p., already accounts for 22% of all Mustangs sold. There are many other...
Despite the growing alarm, Detroit continues to promote the speed derby. General Motors has just introduced an all-aluminum 550-h.p. engine for the Corvette Sting Ray; with that power pack, the car costs about $9,000.

...Emery tells them how they can get GM. There are ten to fifteen million sitting targets--every GM car, truck, and bus extant. Don't confuse the issue by hitting at Ford or Chrysler, you can dictate terms to them after GM is shut down. Don't hurt the people in the cars. Your fight is against machines, not men. Smash windshields, use beer can openers to dig long scratches into the sides of the monsters. Get jobs at gas stations, in garages--dump sand, valve grinding compound, detergent into the crankcases and gas tanks...
