Wow. Lots of diversified responses. But it seems that most want to push their car to the max.

I made this poll to see if member had a specific "vision" of where they wanted their car to be. Adding a stereo and leaving all else stock, is just fine, and there are no worries about needing service while out on a long trip. Going balls to the wall is a wonderful option too. But there are serious drawbacks too, and for street use, especially if used for long trips, where a breakdown might occur.

Personally, I made a Microsoft Project plan of what I wanted in my car. So far I have accomplished all but the few minor issues. When the plan is complete, so is the car. I will enjoy it from that point on as a competent street car I can take on vacation and other trips and not worry about service.

Those of you who have serious race machines probably have backup cars for when the fbody brakes down. And that is common if you go to the strip often.

So, there you have it. That is why I posted the thread. Its good to know where the general population is coming from.
