HAAHAAHAA! Welcome investexp! You know, my first car that I cut my teeth on was a '67 Plymouth Barracuda. 383 cu in 335 bhp (insurance purposes dunno actual hp). Posi traction....FAST. I was raised in a family with two of these cars. My dad has a '70 340 'cuda that has been slightly lowered in front and has been bored .30 over. Much torque....it twisted the frame a bit just from the eng.
One thing I was taught early is DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOUR CAR! Drive your car!!! BUT there is a difference between driving normal and driving defensively. YOU MUST anticipate the other idiots on the road. KNOW YOUR CAR and it's quirks. If you don't know every way that your car is going to respond then don't push things.
Congrats on the car! Do your mods! DRIVE CAREFULLY! You wreck....don't tell us or we will have to kick you in da be-hind....naaaah just kidding.
