Wow... I have never been challenged before. I am assuming that the challenge
is a straight off the line launch race. Like a toplight dragrace? I would
be crazy to think that it would be a fair race as we are talking about two
different generations of motors and totally different technology.
Obviously your motor swap was an upgrade. There is no way a good running U20
would be able to offer a decent challenge to a modern motor conversion. I
would be silly to think that my car is any different.
I am sorry if I hurt anyones feelings with my joke about not wanting Dan to
go to the Modesto area because he may be influenced to convert to a motor
swap. It was all a joke. Because if anyone knows Dans car it would be
totally obvious it was a joke. His car is about as modified as one can get.
So my joke was really tongue-in-cheek. No offense to all the motor swappers.
I think you guys rock.
As for my so called "Matching numbers" car. Big freakin deal. I really dont
put too much stake in the fact that the motor is the original. And all the
people that know me from the years past will know that I meant no harm.
But on a lighter side I wouldnt mind a roadster challenge. It would be fun.
Maybe we can do the Auto-x at Shasta. Your car would still be at an
advantage but at least it is at a safe forum.
