You guys get caught up in drama too much. This is just a racecar project for me. Of course it's not my only car. It dosn't have power steering/brakes, no a/c or heat, top or anything. I'm not sure if that's aparent...Have you guys ever driven gokarts? You know, the fast ones? That's the most accurate discription of the way this car drives.
It's a built chassis,
suspension, and engine. With nothing else. Last time I checked, that was the formula for a good racecar. Not a "socially accecptable" street car. Sorry it's not up those standards. It's kinda like camshaft theory: sacrafice torque down low for HP at higher rpms. I can see by how critical of my personal taste you are, that you must really be in it for other reasons than going fast. I've got the nitrous ready. Now I need a new set of slicks, and the pinion angle needs to be reduced a couple of * and the car will hook.
The fun part is I can legaly drive it on the streets of CA, and neer be required to smog again. And this is in SOCAL. We'll call it a beaurocratic 'loophole'.
Anyway you all have no idea how much care I put into that car. Maybe it's just not your idea of "care".
Forinstance in the first 100miles on the new engine I changed the oil 3 times already.
I call that "CARE"
Have fun with all those pretty cars, but I bet mine will equal or better speed of any stockblock 306/power-adder car around.
Oneday, when the car is all done and said, then the body will get fixed and painted.
But for now, the car is a brutal fast rush that I love, and take care of.

That's all that matters to me.
