Your post did.

But don't under-estimate the money made off of a sleeper.   Many an Evo have over estimated the effect of a 4wd launch over a 3rd gear pull. It remains all about the torque curve (HP be damned), flat curve = max acceleration.

Street racer, are you? How nice for your mom. But I reiterate, nothing on stock 1960's bias-plies is going to get enough torque on the pavement to run 12 second  quarters.

You may have noticed I posted a strip version of the same car, nonetheless that was a picture of the car off the factory floor.

and I'm sure you wouldn't recognize this view . . .

'69 Yenko, one of my favorites.

One of Chevy's unsung heroes.

Though only retards choose to drive these on the street the HUMVEE is actually a very capable military vehicle....  Considering the almost non-existent suspension under this thing I'm guessing most of the passengers in this one suffered serious spine injury after this little jump.....

Nope...  I can't seem to get my hands on much military hardware which for the health and safety of the general population is probably a very good thing....

The Stryker is definitely better than the Gama Goat....  Not quite the same class of equipment, but very impressive..

I know I have no "hands on" with the latest stuff.

The M998 is not too new.  I can drive the fuck out one of those.

I had all but forgotten about those - and yes I did get soaked the first time I was introduced to one.

Do you boys know what a good cruiser looks like?

Perhaps something similar to  these:

I used to read every issue of Hot Rod but I lost interest in 8th grade. Back then, the top fuelers were slingshots, and yes, I remember the original Ramchargers, and no, they weren't stock cars.

Shit, I was at a strip when 200 mph [1/4] was the thing to beat.  I believe they were fueler rails, at the time.

I used to read Hot Rod also, and look at Penthouse magazine.

Now I fuck real women and race real cars . . . it's fun to grow up, you should try it.
