How about a different perspective

How about a different perspective. Well, we are living in tough economic times as indicated by the news media and talks of government efforts in recent weeks. I say it is okay to drag race, but a fundamental shift in our thinking is necessary, a paradigm shift if you will from orthodox thinking - slowest one wins and saves fuel. :dance:

I was at Sebring when they had the 48 hours just a couple weekends ago, and it's impressive seeing the old box keep up with some of the other heavy hitters out there. One of them was a stock 2.7 no mods except for a shorter pulley, fabspeed exhaust and headers. That thing sounded amazing and with everything ripped out, probably was a bit faster than my stock set up. I still have exhaust envy to this day, but hey my car looks fast when I'm not moving so it's all good. I forgot my point, but its coming back to me...mods like that track car seems to me the best way to harness your engine's potential in a way where you can sleep easy at night and you might not be winning straight line races, but it be a real hoot to drive and listen to the sound of a beautiful exhaust note.
