I have never had a really fast car, so I never have street raced. I have been in lots of street races I did not know I was in except to see some other car vanish off accelerating hard. Lots of folks must think I have some hot engine in the Elky because it does have a nice rumble at idle with the dual exhaust, but a bone stock base 350 is not a hot rod. It would be easy and fairly cheap to make lots more power. I am just not interested. That means a new rear end like a Ford 9 inch, bigger brakes and disks in the rear. Lots of money just to get less gas mileage.
When I had the guy building the dual exhaust I kept telling him, I do NOT want a loud car. His first try had a ton of droning and was just too loud. So he put in a cross pipe, and bigger mufflers of each side. It would have been horrible for a road trip to Enid with that drone. Now it is just right.
