Taka,
I have had a race car or 2 and and while thay are fun they are a hell of a
lot of work and cost a hell of a lot of money. I try to play with my s4
because I absolutely LOVE this motor. I have had some hi-hp cars and this
block, etc is better than even the 10k$ Cleavor Fontana purpose cast 351
aluminum block and Cola crank etc, etc. I have about 20k in the block and
related parts on this car and it gets around 3.5hp per CI. We had about 50k$
in the Aluminum Ford and only got about 4.2hp par CI. I do like just
humiliating Corvettes and Porsches at stoplights and the word is apparently
out because they dont even act like playing when we get side by side. I had a
guy in a Zo6 hardtop Cvette try to play top end started at 100 and he did OK
till around140 when I went from 3 car lengths ahead to about 7 by 160
indicated, I was having fun then. I know I cant do a tight course with them
and they cant do AutoX with a Honda either. It isnt a racecar, but it does
have a racecar motor, some are just higher strung than others.
