....an ERA with a 427 wh/ weighs the same (or less?) than a 302? You ain't gonna have ANY problems. Let me know when you're up and running....I had no trouble out in California walking away from a 2003(ish) corvette while heading west from Fresno. Started at c. 45 mph and walked away. You are, in actuality, going to have to hunt people down to race with you. I rode in (didn't drive) a Contemporary with a monster Dove (520+ ci and unimaginable horsepower) Ridden and driven in many cobras since, including my Butler. As my local mechanic said: "You can always find someone who can beat you, but you'll have to look REAL hard!"

Premium choice of car and motor!
