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 :D and if **** breaks,i gotta way to get it home. makes sense to me.

Dewey316 05-22-2003 06:05 AM

save on gaas :confused: :confused:

dude, its a 455, and you are goona tow 4k with it , i doubt that will get better millage than a 383.

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