The only thing I don't like about Track Rat is they didn't stay with the big block idea. I'd have loved to see a nasty big block under the hood. I totally understand why they went LS though and don't blame them one bit.

Trey,

Us BBC fans sure do take a lot of grief from the LS dogmatics, huh?

Old school is cool, but there's a reason it's old school. That's just the way the world works.

No question LS motors are vastly superior overall to BBC's. I've had one from new in a DD, and likely will get another one.

But in my hotrods...

wow that is very cool.

The first Porsche I ever drove was a 944 and I have been in love with Porsche ever since.

This is kinda cool as it's the best of both worlds.
