Pidler:
I haven't seen a single owner resist the urge to beat their car yet---even the waxers! In my case, I started out YEARS ago to build a hammer...very light with something very simple as motivation...a decent 302 to be exact ( I got my car WAY before the stroker craze!). During the build, one thing led to another and I wind up with a 535 ci stroker with a lot of overkill! I had the same idea..just cruise, maybe a bit of speed 'every now and then'...HA! Reality is the car is JUST TOO DAMNED MUCH FUN! Go out at night, and see how fast it takes you to get to 90 without even realizing it! I dont street race, but I have been known to burst a few bubbles every now and then....and I run down to Ennis a lot more than I ever thought I would for the Friday Night Run Whatcha Brung races! Finally, no, I dont use a forged crank..I run a billet steel because it was more expensive!
