[QUOTE="NodakBob, post: 342527, member: 7874"] My friends and I were hot rodders in the 1970's and 80's...I had a 67 Cougar that I stripped to the unibody and restored/built the 289 up to about 375 hp...used to beat a lot of big blocks to 70 mph, but those were stock motors that I could outpace for a little while...25 years later sold the car to buy into the company I was with. So later that investment paid off and I bought a newer 500 hp Shelby mustang...that car was so dialed and could whup ass on dang near any muscle car ever built from the old days... but it lacked the coolness of owning and using a vintage machine (be it a car, guitar, gun or bow), which in the end is way cooler and satisfying than just pure performance. As they say: Horsepower is like taking a bath...once you get used to it, it ain't so hot anymore. [/QUOTE]
