Yeah my dad used to say that there is no substitue for cubic inches except for big money. He said that, until he rode in my car, when it was my brother's.
Especially when it ran 14.60-14.70's bone stock full weight '88 GT in 90* heat and lots o' humidity (it was at Milan dragway, traction can be questionable).
He was impressed and knew it wouldn't take much money to run 12's. Now he is proud of me because I built my own car, like he used to do. He still brings up the old cars, though. His 427 Galaxie is pretty impressive though. I took it out one night to the cruisin' loop on Gratiot. I beat many mustangs and newer Z's (non-ls1s).
