The drag race guys HATE turns!

And the PT guys hate short straightaways..... this is an old topic for sure. But everyone has very good points. The only way to do it all is to either build two (or three) different cars, or decide what you like doing best and build for that. I've gone too far with my 95 to enjoy it alot on the highway, but can still do a highway trip no problem with the T56. This is a 9-second car, and still has full leather interior. But it's not quiet.... hence not overly enjoyable on a trip. The 69 will be quiet, have AC, T56, and stereo and WILL be enjoyable to drive everywhere and go around corners. It is funny I'm making the 69 everything that the 95 WAS..... IQ of a houseplant right here. But it will never be a track car because that necessitates removing all the options and weight. Remember that. Settle for only one goal.... or buy three cars!
