.....unless you need a car that goes deep into the 10's or faster and also corners with the kids in the back seat eating ice cream with the dvd's playing for them with the a/c cranking.


Ice cream in the car is out of the question, but the availability of hydraulic roller cams, stroker kits, and great aftermarket heads give us the power. Caltracs with split monoleafs, great shocks, Firmfeel's swaybars, upper control arms and power steering box mods, US Cartool subframe connectors and modern tire technology(like 325/ 50 15 Nitto 555r's) that provides mind-boggling traction; give us control of the road AND the ability to launch. Don't forget to add Perfect fit Vintage Air A/C with a hidden compressor kit from Bouchillion, a few bulk packs of well placed Dynamat Extreme and cocoon up the rest of the interior with rolls of The Insultor Mat from AirCraft Spruce and some aluminum tape.

These days we can have our cake and eat it too, ala-mode if you like.
