Anybody?
Ronnie and the Daytonas "Little GTO" - I know what a "rail job" is but what's a "gasser"?
Beach Boys - "Little Deuce Coup" - What is/are "ported and relieved' and "stroked and bored"?
Finally, from no song but in the same category - "Chopped and channeled"?

Comments
Ported and relieved-enlarging and polishing valve ports to facilitate smoother gas flow.
Stroked-Lengthening the push rods to achieve higher compression.
Bored-Increasing piston displacement by boring out cylinders to a larger diameter to increase cubic inch displacement.
Chopped-Cutting down the top of the car at the windshield to lower the profile.
Channeled-Cutting out a section of the body metal to lower the body down over the frame to achieve the same.
Lowered-Dropping the suspension either rear or front and rear.
Raked-Lower the front.
They alway's said "If all that doesn't make it run fast, paint the wheels red."

Two cool SHORTS standin' side-by-side.
Yeah, my fuel-injected Stingray and a 413,
Revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean.
Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down.
When I was a kid I could never understand what they were saying when the Beach Boys sang the words "two cool shorts." It wasn't 'till a couple of years later when I was in downtown Seattle one night and the lightbulb finally came on. I overheard a pimp yelling at two of his women and he said, "Don't you backtalk me, I'll jump in my short and run over both you whores."
I thought to myself, short??, short??, damn, that's it, "two cool SHORTS standin' side-by-side." I was singing that song for the rest of the night. So you see, a man can even learn something from a pimp.

"Not as deep as a well, or as wide as a church door, but it is enough."
A "short" is hipster slang for an automobile. Here it is straight from Lyrics World.

All I ever raced for was $hits and grins. Or an occasional $20-$50. That's about how much gas it took me to run a 1/4 mile.
A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.
