Bill,
It was our treat! And you know it really wasn't THAT hot (it's a dry heat, you know
). Today it's supposed to be 115 degrees...WoW!
And Steve Sandlin is right...the torque from the 396 in the Chevelle is amazing...right Bill?
Okay, I'll tell abit about the cool cars that we came across while we were out driving around. I took Bill over to a neighborhood that my wife Lynn and Holly discovered while driving around. It's the PERFECT car guy neighborhood...and it's only a mile or two from my house.
The houses sit on about 3/4 of an acre and they have attached gagrages and then detached shops...almost everyone of them does. They are located on three sucessive cul-de-sacs. While showing Bill these cool houses...Bill said, "Hey, there's a cool red Corvette down that street we just passed". So we went down the next street and turned around. We had a brief discussion (about 5 seconds) about whether or not we should stop and say hi...well. we decided to stop. The guy ( I've forgotten his name already)...told us about the Corvette. He had just finished putting in a crate motor and a ram-jet fuel injection system and a 700R-4 and A/C. The car was cool. He then invited us into his shop where he had a Mustang fastback, a full-on drag Ford (Falcon?) a mid 40's rod (apart) an new black Z06...and I don't remember what else. We talked for a bit...then he asked if we really liked horsepower (of course we both chimed in at the same time...SURE!) and he opened a door into another room, where he had a pro street Falcon with a narrowed rear, over driven BDS blown cleveland mill and another rod (chevy powered) next to it.
Finally he said that he was expecting delivery of an 07 GT500 mustang by the beginning of next week.
I'll try to get shots of the subdivision after I get back from Cali...we need to take over the block and all move there (That guy can stay though)
