Oh yeah, a driver's car. This is a fun car to drive. Instinctive drivers love cars like this. You have to feel her and anticipate what she will do when you kick her in the ass. I would love to take her out.

OK - It's an older one but fits right in if you want to try it. Forgot I even had it and after running across it in my stuff around here, had to load it up and go racing again. Now you can too if you want. games.softpedia.com/get/Shareware-Games/Hot-Rod-American-Street-Drag.shtmlJust be sure to do the usual about scanning for bugs and so on before unzipping/installing, best played with XP but runs fine with Win 7.

The downshifts on that old Ford sound amazing. Never had a 427 on the farm, but we had a gaggle of 428's, a few 390, 391 360's and a stray 330. Local fellow running a T-bolt Ford that is a tough customer- not sure what kind of go-fast goodies he has on it. Always wanted to take one of our old 428 industrials , build it up and drop it in a Torino or Montego. Dreams I'll never see I guess lol.

Looks like a promo vid for EV's to me.
I understand an EV will do well because there is no "Drop" in power because (As far as I know) it doesn't have to change gears, drop in RPM's and then have to build up to it's powerband again per gear, plus electric motors always give you what it's capable of everytime based on the power it's getting in the first place. A weak battery won't let it do as well overall.
Plus I love the quirkyness (And sound) of an ICE anyway - Makes it interesting.

I would also like to promote electric cars. But in an old school way. Took a trip over to the Railway museum today.

But I was just interested in all the other cars running. I especially liked that Grand National. Those little turbo 6s were amazing. Turbo charged vin code 7. When I was a parts counterman back at G.M. those things were all the rage. Fastest production car built for it's time. They beat everything on the street and strip at that time.

I had an '87 GN. Pretty tricked out. It was a 10 second car. I twisted the rear axle tube once when I stood the car up on one wheel. I had to put frame extensions on it too cause I had built up the engine to the point to where I was twisting the frame on it and braking windshields. LOL Wish I still had it.
Edit: I'm so glad I didn't order that car with the T-Tops on it. I would have split that sucker in half if it had T-Tops.
Edit2: Used to eat Porsches for breakfast. LOL
