Mine is a low 13 second drag car that also pulls the pop-up camper to the track. It is also a daily driver in the summer here in MinnSnowta. My 3-year old grandson loves the rumble and the girls at work love it when I take the back road back to the office after lunch.

I drive her like a performance car. I don't spin the street tires much but will a few times a season. I am an assertive driver but try not to go more than 5mph over the speed limit. If it is safe I won't back down from a steeet race and I have beat anybody that tries to take this 4-door Chevelle!

Its a mixed bag for me. I know its gonna be the other lady in my life (my wife of course is first) so you have to treat her with respect and be gentle. But with all that being said when the high school kids pull up beside you driving the imports with those mufflers on them that sound like a mosquito with a meth habit and their loud base pumping you can help but drop it into neutral and bring it to 4k rpm just to drown out their noise. Then as you make eye contact and they give you that all knowing "whats up" head nod know its on. Some of the best lessons in life are learned out side of the classroom, the lesson topic of the day...You cant f**k with American muscle and as the smoke from your tires clear and the import in your rear view becomes a small dot the grin spreads across your face and the the only thought that goes through your head is "lesson learned"
