I'll never build a motor over 500rw again. (Or I can't see myself doing it.)

It's a fact, the more Hp you make, the less you drive it.

Drive mine maybe 5000 a year if I am lucky. More in the winter only because it is too damn hot here in the summer to enjoy it. Actually drove it to work tonight after sitting for almost 2 months!

they cant drive nor do they pay attention to actual rules of the road.

Nothing worse then seeing a asian woman on the phone in a Porsche Caymen S rear end another asian in a Mercedez because she was on the phone too.LOL

Yes to all of them..... I've driven my 45 year old race car through 22 states to include Hawaii, where he/she (it's a tranny, looks like a girl on the out side until you pop the hood and you realize that it has a set of *****...It's a Thailand thing) resides now. I've driven it through 200 miles of blue ridge parkway, up to Massachusetts and to Texas. I've raced it on the track and know every local tow truck operator by name. I put 8k miles on it last year in Hawaii with most of my year spent in either Singapore or Thailand. It's my only car that I own. I tell people everywhere (because I get stopped a lot...everywhere to talk about it) that I can not afford a new car so I had to buy an old junky car and fix it up myself....cheaper that way. If you wait in the H3 tunnel (google it) you might just catch a glimpse of me going between 130-140mph at mid-night on Saturdays....

The motor is a 302 block with Performer RPM heads etc. 5 speed TREMEC, adjustable coil over front and back suspension (beating a Porche at take off is fun....but hold the corners to stay ahead of that Porche is even funner), power assisted disc brakes, front and back, pro-comp gauges and other junk to keep it running fast and fun.

Contraire to belief....it's a middle aged dude magnet. My next car is definitely going to be a chick magnet.

Currently I have a 428 CJ that I am putting the finishing touches to which should make it into the car by December.
