Default superstrokers

Curiosity has gotten the better of me. I see that there are a number of people here with some very impressive motors. I can't help wondering, of those who have serious toys like the 383+ engines does anyone use the car as a daily driver?

Several MTI 422ci cars are daily driven. My MTI 382ci motor was daily driven until a few months ago. I've bought a work truck now though, so I wouldn't have to worry about busting the car at the track. When I had the T1 cam, it passed emissions testing, pulled 455 rwhp, and ran 11.13 with a full weight car, and still managed over 24 mpg on the freeway.

I could drive my iron block ARE 422ci motor'd setup everyday if I needed too, it's very reliable. It's just hella loud with the shorty dual exhaust I put on.
