Cuda gotta do what a cuda gotta do!!! Nice, hard to believe from the start you had.
 
Note the oil on the ground... the cleaned-up and reused P/S hose let go on the test drive (prior to the "dyno pull"). So new hose goes on today, giving it a shadetree alignment now, bumpers went on yesterday, and another longer test drive later today. Should go "home" tomorrow under its own power. Car last was registered and run in 1991.

I understand what you are saying. I think most enthusiast listen to other people instead of builders and have heard stupid HP numbers. I think if a car owner could actually ride in a car that legitimately made 450 or 500 HP they would be scared sh#tless, assuming the rest of the car was built to take it. For me if my street car gives a nice squawk off the line, hooks and chirps 1st to second I'm happy. There will ALWAYS be some one faster. I know a guy built a killer Dart with a big block and kept building from there and was terrified to take it out, lived in his garage. A beautiful and very expensive conversation piece. So keep building drivable cars please and we will enjoy them on the road!!!

I agree completely. Why do you think you see so many garage queen liter class sportbikes for sale on craigslist. The owners were scared shitless because they never started small on bikes, they went to the biggest and baddest for coolness factor, instead of growing their skills into them.
