I made a little joke but the humor was there. IMO

I couldn't drag it so I won't beat him up to bad.

If I invested that much into a car, I'm sure I could. But no matter how hard you try, you can take junk and make it fast, and you still have fast junk. F that ferd.

I built the car with what I had and to do something that has never been done before. It's a well put together car regardless of the engine. I'm a humble dude that's grateful for having a car of this caliber. I knew some will love it and some with hate it. It's all good!

My 80 coupe has a 200k mile 6.0 salvaged from a truck that a couple pine trees fell on, I care less what others think, I'm happy with it. Your junk? Was bound to happen some time.

I wanted to put a junkyard LS engine in the vette but they were all in mustangs. No one has called it junk after seeing it. One fellow said "I want to hate it but it's too nice". Lol!

You put in 28+ years and no social life equals more toys to play with.

Its funny cause it seems he could care less about what people think of his car that you continue to call junk but yet you still keep coming back like a broken record and calling it junk again and again. if you don't like the car then fine, don't like it but to compare your car to his is just ridiculous in every way, shape and form...

There is no comparrison, a fox body is a tin can like of ****. That corvette is at least a nice car before putting a flappy motor in it. That's what made it junk.

Fox bodies can be made to be very nice solid drivers just like F bodies can. It just takes some time, money, and attention to detail. I don't believe that is what he was getting at.
