Jeff-


It's that kind of thinking that causes the build to get to $500K....

....and when you start with the "average" hot rod coming out of So San Fran is half that to begin with... it doesn't take long to get the rest of the way there.

Funny -- I was watching Velocity TV last night (had to be really really bored!) and they were discussing the cost of a Bently GT Speed being a base price of $244K... and I thought - "that's outrageous!".... and then I thought... OH SNAP.... actually you get quite a bit of car for that. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Neck warmers are nice, but I'd rather ride in the '32 if you please...

Those three mod motors in the challenge were all making impressive numbers. To meet the minimum displacement rule of 401 cubes they were all running a 3.72 bore and a 4.56 stroke, I think. I never knew anyone stroked those motors. Talk about under square.
