becuase stripped down racecars are gay. i never said it would be a track car only did I ? no.

saves gas for the transam,and towing it with my elky,i can ru nthe elky down the track while im there and if **** breaks,i gotta way to get it home. makes sense to me.

uhm,when the transams running pure tanks of 104-110 octane,its way cheaper to drive the 455 actually!! so far the gas mileage isnt that bad!! if you keep your foot outta it,the edelbrock does pretty good
