All you guys who say you have NEVER stood on the throttle of your hot rods are full of it. If you never take advantage of the power, even just on the freeway on-ramp, or while passing a car, or a country road when nobody is around; then why spend all the money on expensive heads, stroker cranks, roller rockers, H-beam rods, etc? Why not just take a bone stock junkyard motor, add a really lumpy cam, and shiny valve covers and put around at idle all day. Somebody gets in trouble and all the sudden it's soapbox time and out come the preachers.

I do not at all condone street racing. It has killed many an innocent motorist, one just recently here in socal. Driver in that race is being charged with murder I believe, he hit a 70 year old lady. If you want to race, go to the track.
