    Exactly right and what I meant, I'm one of the few V8 fans on here Click here to enlarge

    Like I've always said to others, apply some serious technology/mods to V8's and they rule Click here to enlarge

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Oh that's so nice, reminds me of my old Chev powered XU-1 Click here to enlarge

    Poita V8 lovers/fans are few and far between here (and that's fair enough due to the type of forum) most here prefer a 4 pot with a snail hanging off it over anything else Click here to enlarge

    If set up properly for drag duties, you'd be surprised what a tub job, with correct front and rear suspension and a set of slicks can do Click here to enlarge

    My old XU-1 with above mods, would lift the front end nearly 2 feet in the air, with only minimal wheel spin on full launch for a 1/4 run Click here to enlarge
