I used to drive mine quite a bit, the engine is really nothing and it still has power steering, power brakes etc and could drive it forever on pump gas. Only downside was the rpm on the highway kinda limited me to 60-65mph or so before the blower bypass noise would drive me insane.

But this year I wont be driving it anymore, geting too much invested in the car to deal with regular insurance companies and put race car insurance on it. Unfortunately one of the stipulations is the car can not be registered or street driven with race car policies. People are just too sue happy for me to take a chance driving around these days and since the 10pt cage its not a lot of fun to cruise around anyhow..

I still drive mine on the street. A few weeks ago we hit a local cruise spot in High Point which is about a 1.5hr drive one way. With the th350, I try to keep it around 60 mph however. I can drive it anywhere, but no heat makes for a cold ride in the winter!

There is no street racing scene here, they have the big car shows in pigeon forge acouple times a year and thats about it. If you are coming here to street race you picked the wrong town..

Drive mine quite a bit on the street. I like to pull the tops, crank up the Kenwood and go for a cruise. Thinking about doing Drag Week next time - thats the ultimate road trip to me

Mine still had working A/C running 9.25 @ 144. But, I did have to run race gas to spray it or run it hard.

I almost poked a guy's eye out with the electric antenna after I cracked the oil pan on a wheel stand.
