What stole your attention from HiFi?

Hey Slappy, If you want to keep it true to the old school muscle cars? Why not sell your 04, & jump into a 05 body style? I was drooling over a 05 light green metallic 2005 convertable GT on a lot just the other day. I snatched a brochure, & have to admit it stole my attention from HiFi for a few minutes!

Slappy,

I'm proud of you for keeping V8 American iron in the forefront. (Green One, you are forgiven) My advice at this time is to stop with the horsepower, concentrate on handling and looks and stay in audio. The way gas prices are going it will be nice to enjoy staying home. I just sold my '67 Nova last week. No, I didn't have to and really didn't want to. I just can't use it anymore for health reasons. I'm not going to look back though.

Here's some advice if you must go faster. Do nitrous. While I don't personally respect it because it's too easy it is cheap and the engine you have will take the abuse pretty well. Next, don't get hung up on hooking up. You'll start breaking drive train components. Let your tires break with the pavement before a ring and pinion goes. Last, never, ever give some rice burner the priveledge of your attention. Those cars will long ago be recycled while your Stang is being restored for the upteenth time. Your in coolville. Stay there.

Lugnut, Recommending Slappy Do Nitrous? Slappster maybe you could get a few more wpc's, & higher resolution out of your audio rig if you also try Nitrous in your listening room? And just remember the ol'e saying that with Fast Cars, come Fast Women?

Music.

I dropped out of "hi-fi" for several years. During that time, i had 8 different muscle cars. These ranged from a 482" big block with Webers to turbo-charged mouse motors to a tiny small block with a cross ram. I now drive a 10+ year old Ford Tempo or a 17+ year old Volvo. Am i getting old or what??? : ) Sean

PS... I've got an old Corvette Stingray sitting in storage and a Harley half torn apart in my basement. Both are begging for TLC, but i'm a lazy sod. The Vette looks beautiful, but needs major motor work. I've got a complete stroker kit for it, just never got around to it. The Harley is the same i.e. needs motor work. I've got all the plans for this motor as i designed it using computer dyno simulation, just need to get busy. The torque and horsepower curves look pretty fabulous, even for an "overgrown Briggs & Stratton motor" : )
