No, not my first stroker (I've driven stroked SB,BB, and Hemis) but the first SB with a good chassis under it (aside from a retired SB Mopar powered NASCAR that had an eerily similar feel).

I agree, who needs a big block when a lightweight small block with a big arm can offer so much punch! Andy sure builds a nice engine, it revs like it's got fuel injection, traction is hopeless on the street tires if you get into it beyond light half throttle in 1-3 gears, and that's with 2.94's in the rear! Super fun car.....and the "Patina" is growing on me already.
