I'm looking at #6 at this point. I'll drive the car to the track, and I can take it to work if need be.. but it's loud as all hell.

I'm looking to take it to #7.

You'll get tired of it real quick. Not to mention a 9-10 second car isn't the most reliable thing on the planet to get you to work.

im not sure how to answer this..
ta is basically stock..
chevelle has steel crank and hyper pistons, forged rods, 4 bolt mains with studs. hyd roller cam, brodix heads, intake, carb headers, exhaust. scatter sheild bell housing, auto to manual swap, built rear, lift bars, adjustable upper control arms, circle track springs front and rear, bilstein shocks..

i guess i have a mild build, but lots of suspension work

Looking at the motor...2) bolt-ons...with some spray in....

7) street legal race car....tranny swaps, full race suspension, weight reduction.

rx7 in my sig, motor setup will be mild for now, rest is wild, lol.
