I haven't been on the track yet - I don't like the feel of my hubs mustang (he used to take it to the track a lot, put lower gears in it, which motivates the speed restrictor to kick in at 86 mph - he's built a computer to replace the factory one, just has to finish the wiring harness, then he can take it back to the track and see how it really does with the lower gears
)
When I was single and living in FL (where the roads are/were remarkably smoother than here) I used to "race" between stoplights on Friday and Saturday nights down by the beach - lots of fun.
I've missed that. Can't do that kind of thing here - the potholes and miserable patch jobs would kill you. Or at least misalign your front end.
The green Firebird on my hub's website (yeah, Soap, it's a business in the make) is my baby - have had her since she was brand new in '95. Before the headgasket blew, hubs asked if I wanted to take it out to the track - only a 6 cylinder, it wasn't *that* fast but it might've been fun if I hadn't been worried about cracking her up. But then it became rather pointless when the headgasket blew.
But, since we had to take the engine out anyway, we decided to part it and the transmission out and to put in an 8 cylinder. Muwhahaha!
I still don't want to take it to the track though - 17 years old and the only cosmetic flaws are a few chips out of the paint on the passenger side headlight cover and the sagging headliner.
But the red car -- now that I'll take to the track.
