A thread like that would be pretty cool! I would have to learn how to link up a video but... it could happen!!

See, I was driving around today since it's clear and cool around here and I ended up cutting through Valley Forge Park. Just as I snapped this photo, George Washington turned his head to get a better look at the roadster and said "wish I had one of those in 1776". I just said "thanks, General Washington".

As per Nick, done. Go here "Just Driving Your Hot Rod" videos

Thanks a lot, Bob. I'm sure that thread can be a real popular one here if everybody puts a little something into it. Whatever kind of car or vehicle or transportation, horseback or hoofing it on foot, I hope people put something in there.

Well Nick, I don't know about the others, but I'm still curious if your able to bury your foot in 2nd gear? Does it stay hooked up or does it do as mine, stay hooked up till about 4500 rpm?

Bob, let me test that a bit more exactly and I'll let you know. I am under the impression that if I bury my foot in 2nd gear it'll blow the tires off ...rears are M&H drag radials 275/55-16's and pretty soft even when not heated up. I'll try it from different rpm's and record what happens.

If your not curious, don't do it on my account. For me with the last 3 engines, it has been a test of matching torque peak with available traction and has been interesting.
