what kind of car do you have?

apparently a fast one

apparently one that can go 130-150 through Chicago area traffic. In other words, a magic car.

Whats the stock car? Year?

Going fast on the track is great. Going fast on public roads is risky. Even 'empty' roads can have strange debris, drunk motorists, wayward pedestrians, stray animals, liquids of various types, etc. not to mention police.

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

Have to admit, I can't get too excited about the new cars on the road with their small blocks and fuel injection but I respect the folks who get into the high tech aspect of fuel injection, chip sets and electronic fuel controllers. They can really get some speed out of those smaller blocks.

I'm more "old school" and a fan of the big blocks. One of the greatest projects I've worked on was a 64' Ford Thunderbird convertible with a 390 engine. Add to the list a more mundane 74 Chevy Suburban with a 454. That engine is huge. We bored it out a bit due to some gouges in the cylinder chamber and popped in a 4 barrel carb. Installed a higher performance cam and that thing could roll for its size. A massive tank that maybe got 10 mpg on the highway but could pull a 25ft camper, comfortably seat 8 people and their gear and truck up Loveland Pass in the fast lane.
