I'd prefer that you live to a ripe old age, so as a Gasser, no; as more of a Funny Car (albeit slower), sure. A longer WB and a low nose don't really fit the Gasser image, but the thing would be less hairy at speed and take less power to force it through the air. IIRC, there's an earlier version of Holy Toledo that's less "Funny" and more Jeep-like; pretty sure I remember seeing it at Lions.
