In my opinion, which means nothing I might add, where do you go from here if you want to push the envelope? It has to be a full frame car that blurs the line between street car and race car. The AME vette is the same way. Only way to move up the performance is start moving in the the race car direction...which for a few will be the next step.
To top this car I would have to sell her, and I'm not doing that. This is my apex for a LONG time. After two years building the blue car and now 1.5 years building this one I want to enjoy having a done car. To satify my need to tinker I have the Fairlane and whatever project cars come down the line.

My wife has threatened death if I sell Penny. I married well

If I had more cash I might add some sort of forced induction or maybe the Harrop intake, something more exotic. Maybe down the line I will tackle this, for now I just want to get her on the street.
