Super Charged Slant Six

why use a slant six with force induction when i can beat you with a small block v8 for a lot less time and a heck of a lot less money?

Because, while effective, that route requires no intelligence, experience or creativity.

Not everyone is all about going as fast as you can for the least amount of money. Folks either get that, or don't. I haven't the slightest interest in seeing another V8 A-body at a car show, no matter how nicely it's built. Same goes for V8 Challengers, Camaros and Mustangs. Once you've seen a few dozen, you've seen 'em all.

I'd stop and admire this car for hours. To each his own.
