The Engine is a NASCAR set up (Small Block Chevy but with 748 horsepower on Dyno)My 1963 Stingray (was my Fathers)..Don't Drool because The Vette is totally Gutted out and caged for all out racing (it's not an expensive Pricey Vette). It Has a Stout 331" cu inch Chevy(class Rule)..Amazingly it "IS" still registered and street legal...LOL....and YES it'll Kill your New Mustang...LOL...I have no time to race it now and it's under a cover. Plus with the Current Gas Prices...it ain't easy buying 120 octane race gas for a car that gets 5 miles per gallon.

Heroes:

Do You mean "HEROES" or "IDOLS". I believe everyone at some point in Life is a Hero. Everyone has inspired Friends, created movements and saved lives...BUT IT IS THE ONES WHO PUT THEMSELVES AHEAD OF OTHERS ARE NEVER RECKOGNIZED AND SIMPLY DO IT BECAUSE THEY "CARE" THAT ARE HEROES...AND WE DON'T CARE OR EVEN KNOW THIER NAMES!!!! I've Learned that those people are the REAL HEROES.
