Many civilized paces in the country have gas that would run in my car, just not the DPRK, Democratic People's Repubic of Kalifoooniaa.

However, the guy I bought the motor was right here in town.

As for street car, it rides smoother and Quieter, has A/C, get's great mileage, etc. So what if takes a can of Torco now and again.

You have upgraded brakes, cooling, motor, suspension...blah, blah, blah.

Yes you are right my car is in the road racing category BIG TIME. Every single modification that I have done was to achieve lower lap times on road courses. Even my cam was picked for a wider power band. The only stock suspension pieces are the A-arms, uprights and rear sway bar.

I will say Ron's car is a "street car that has been heavily modified for drag racing". I think that's a happy medium.

Ron, yes if I drove my vette on fat and skinnies with 150 shot and lake wood drag shocks (that is what 90/10s are) then I would pretty much consider it a drag car.

Before I got my C3 I didn't really like white on cars. I love it on my C3. Someday I might go with a midnight blue up front with a gradient fade into white gohst flames and white at the back, but that's money and would be nearly the last thing I'd do. As for interior color, I can't make up my mind.
- Cream/Tan - sort of like I have, classy
- Charcoal/black - works of course, but a little ho-hum (you know how I feel about that)
- two tone white and blue with brushed metal and carbon fiber - cool!, but would require careful planning for an aesthetic balance

So is this the longest thread in MOTORGEN history?

Perhaps. But I've never seen anyone, I mean anyone, do so much with so little, completely on their own, from engine building through some pretty damn nice paint and body, as Adam. And for that. :hail:

I agree:thumbs_up:, so why is everyone trying to egg him on to blow his diff. Let him enjoy it for a while.
