the two mid engines are just some extreme examples.
I took a guy for a ride in my car that lives down the street from me that has a nice mid 80's stock 930. He said (as I stepped on it a few times in first and the tires broke loose) "Man I wish mine had that kinda torque"
I guess he does not count, because he has a stock 930 and he is a chevy mech that works at a dealership here in town. He never asked me how to convert his car I guess because he can appr. his stock.
However, it was nice to hear him say that I wish mine had that kinda torque.
My guess is the people that scream the loudest have never ridden in a well converted car...... just someones poor conversion that overheats, gauges that don't work......etc.
Some even talk them down that have never driven in one at all because changing an engine "is not the right thing to do" I try not to give advice on things that I know little about but some feel that they have a duty to mentor everyone.
Furthermore, I have talked many out of doing a conversion and helped a few do it right.
It is not for anyone that is concerned about how it will effect thier social standing....nor will you be a big hit with anyone but the HotRod group.
You just decide if it is right for you and that is yours to decide.
It is just a car.......isn't it?
