QFT = quit fuckin' talking ....HAHAHA
Chevy parts are dime a dozen, you can do it cheap(ok cheapER), but everybodys got one, thats what makes 7m fun for me. If your going to race regularly, 350 is very cost effective. I would like to have a GM trans.
Ive beaten the ass off some Mustangs, even big blocks, and they never saw it coming, and I would easily have my ass handed to me by plenty of others. Like any car, It depends what you've done, and how well its set up. I think on the highway we have a massive advantage, I love someone to mess with me when I have a rolling start....thats eliminated the down side of our car, the slow take off.
As for that car, Its FUGLY!! IMO if you put a built domestic motor in, why would you rice the rest out. If I had a v8 I'd go more hot rod style like Rajunz car. I'd rather beat my dick with a hammer than get caught driving that.
