Sure, you can make 700HP for $30 on an old chevy but its pretty sad when that boosted
FWD teg can beat you on a track with actual turns. Don't even think about racing a 240 or some of the other RWD import, that would just be a rape session.
I also find it rediculous when I read a parts catalog or what not and the same parts for 1950's chevy's or fords are still being shared with the later 80's early 90's models.
