My car is just a cruiser for me. It is not really fast but is a real stump puller. It is a little car with a huge motor which is really the fun part of it. It was rated at 270 HP new and dyno'ed at "Birdfest 1" at 264 HP so I think that is pretty fresh for 36 years old. It is not really fast enough to want to race or anything like that. You could do a burnout though as long as you want, serously until the tires melted. I stumbled on this car that is 95% original with 58,000 miles on it and so I feel like I should honor that the car has stayed this preserved this long and so I'm not going to start changing stuff too much. I am sure that any of you would do the same with this car if you had it. I just enjoy driving it to work and back everyday cause it is me and where I come from.
I tell you though, pretty soon I'm going to get a "project" car that deserves nothing but a bunch of chrome and all the HP stuff I can afford. The 502 looks good!
