My ex boyfriend's dad owns a drag strip. He's got a golden/green '67 stingray HIS dad bought new. They took all the original stuff out, shrink wrapped it, stored it in the shop, and turned the 'ray into a drag car. It's got 800 miles on it and worth a fortune.

It's under 10, and none of that sissy stuff. Old school, pure American muscle. If I remember right, it's 632 cu in of engine...

No replacement for displacement. Any swinging dick can stick a super charger/turbo along with NOS onto a car. It takes skill to properly tune and build a drag engine or racing engine for that matter.

My ex's dad who owns the 'Ray (and the drag strip) works as a mechanic for a Chevy dealership in Michigan.

I don't miss the ex but I miss his dad and the shop and working on cars with him

Apparently the mods have run out of troll spray.
The challenger guys have always been welcome to the fest. Nothing wrong with some ribbing.

Yes I never understood how that would be comfortable driving at 200 MPH with those. Apparently Mr. Marcis converted his race shop into a hot rod shop. They specialize in building cars with SB2 race engines.
