Absolutely no one could believe I was running a Pontiac under the hood. Everyone figured I'd go SBC, after seeing how much torque I could pull off a corner they got a first hand lesson on Pontiac torque.
I had a bunch of tuner types on my butt through a section of corners, I was pissed about that so rather than point them by I floored it off turn 7 down the long backstretch and watched them dissapear in my mirror.

There was an instructor driving his race prepped beemer in my class showing my buddy Frank, who was having trouble learning, how to drive the track, they caught me in turn 12 but rather than them point by down the front stretch to turn one I floored it and pulled away, Frank told me later his instructor said; "that takes some power to pull away like that"

I wasn't the fasted car by any stretch and I need some new heads to get the RPM's up, but from 3200-5200 I could out pull about anyone off a corner.
