Well here's another thing that I always look for when talking cars with someone... If they tell me "it's a 450 blah blah blah - and it's 500 blah blah horsepower...
I immediately know that they have never dyno'd the car - to make that claim. Because guys that have done dyno runs or better yet, dyno tunning... tell you EXACTLY what the car/engine did. The dyno guy says "it makes 503 hp and 467 ft pounds of torque....
Note that motors - or RW numbers are never "500"... they're always some oddball number.... and that separates the "donks" (stealing a good word from VEGAS!) from the non-donks!!
Okay - so I'll repeat my caveat --- if you're claiming big spending numbers on a car project.... then it's gotta all be there - and show it. If you're not bragging about big numbers - but rather - that you built the car "with parts you had laying around" - or "on a budget" - or "my first build" - or whatever.... then I would NEVER say what I said about the details that I saw. We all have different budgets... skills... desires... tastes etc. Some are drivers - some are track cars - show cars - one off Riddler contenders never to be driven... I don't care I like 'em all! But when you go to sell - then you better have all your 'shizzel' straight - especially if you brag about the cost/investment.
You NEVER hear Charley mention money... his stuff speaks for itself... nobody has to ask what something costs -- it's all there sitting mean and low, and ready to go!!
I'd compare X vs this 68 any day -- X is the bargain of the century!
There Charley - we kissed and made up!!
