The boys are back! It's 1970 Detroit: Tucker Knox and Willie Hoyt
are still cruising Woodward Ave. in the GTO and Duster 340 - but
their evil nemesis is back! Kent Rager has a new Mustang Boss 429
and a new sidekick with a Challenger R/T. Together, they're
hell-bent on winning back the crown as the fastest ride on
Woodward.

Tucker Knox has already seen the worst that life can offer as he
heads home to Michigan after a tour in Vietnam, but there's a new
kind of war raging on the streets around Detroit in 1970. Tucker
soon discovers a whole new subculture of street racing in the
flashy, high-horsepowered machines that "make the scene" on and
around the legendary Woodward Avenue. From Detroit's, 8-Mile to the
Pontiac Loop, along Gratiot Avenue and along I-75 and its side
strips, the throngs of 60s and 70s musclecars square-off for
nightly duels. With the threat of a dismal life on a Detroit
assembly line looming, Tucker must reach for street racing glory
and only Kent Rager and his nasty 429 Boss Mustang stand in his
way. If you long for the days when gas was twenty-five cents per
gallon and cars possessed as much character as they did horsepower,
let Woodward Avenue take you back in time!
