interesting comments... some of which I've experienced myself. My BDR is LOUD... with a 427W, monster primaries, & low-restriction pipes... I always worry that I'll be pulled over more for a "noise ordinance" issue than "exhibition of speed". This sparrow-fart of a town I live in (just north of car-jaded L.A.) is LOADED with police, sheriff, troopers, FBI, & other law enforcement members who call the area home. Indeed, most are car guys. Have had several instances where I rolled up to a stoplight next to a sheriff... all they did was look over & give me the thumbs up. I also found interesting the number of comments about the car being a chick magnet. My experience has been the opposite... most "chicks" around here don't give the car a second look. I guess mine's more of a "sausage magnet" LOL I'm surprised at how many "mature" men ask me what kind of car it is. Part of me wants to reply "the 60s weren't kind to you, were they?" What cracks me up is that it seems like every time I'm out for a drive, there's always some joker who will chase me down in a Z06 or something, wanting to race. AS IF! First, I wouldn't do it on the street... Second, I could care less who's faster... Third, while I've got the power-to-weight advantage, a Z06 would have the ergonomic & aerodynamic advantages. But whatever... not gonna happen regardless. When I bought mine, I vowed to NOT end up in a YouTube video with my car wadded up. To quote Peter Parker's uncle... "with great power comes great responsibility"
