SSflyer Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 After years of reading about how jazzed other guys are on the first drive, I got my chance tonite! Three years of work for a drive to the end of the block and back. Man, I thought my Camaro had some power, but this is a whole new level. The engine pulls this little body around like it's nothing. Tonights drive was without a hood, drivers door and seats, (eyeballs just peeking over the bottom edge of the windshield), but what a rush anyway! Now the goal is to get it ready to drive to the MSA weekend. I can hardly wait to get this thing out on the street for real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Congratulations, Im not sure if when mine is finished If Ill wait till its totally put together or be impatient and drive it around without most the parts on. It'll be tempting but more fun in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I love that 'first drive' with no hood and other pieces missing, not working properly.. It's the most frightening and nerve racking drive, and at the same time the most exciting one! It makes it all worth it doesn't it? Congrats man!

The image I have in my head of you sitting on the floor peering over the dash is just too funny. Your neighbors probably are just shaking their heads in disbelief!

SSflyer Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'll try to get a new video done this week. The car sounds pretty good (in my obviously unbiased opinion!). It has a GM hot cam (nice little lope to it) and a set of custom made tri-Y long tube headers going into a pair of Flowmasters. My stealthy little drive last night was at about 11pm, and the exhaust sounded good in a quiet neighborhood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially if the wife is on the passenger side and you corner left... what a rush :) J/K!!! Yep... the V8 motor was the missing piece when they first produced this sportscar!!! Congratulations Sir!
