[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 44853, member: 2"] I appreciate both stock cars and vehicles where the owner has integrated the old technology with new. I'm sure the owner of the Bada ss 71 Corvette (What's a Bada SS? :D) appreciates being able to turn the key and have the Corvette fire right up every time. Plus the fuel economy, ability to drive across the country without worry, and docile nature of a 638 hp modern engine verses an good old big block making that much power has got to be worth something. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that I have to idle my Chevelle for a few minutes before I take it out on the street but that's part of it's character and lets me imagine what these cars were like back in the day. If I was daily driving it, I may not love that so much and would have to walk more as I couldn't afford paying the dollar per mile it costs in fuel. If I had a modern engine in the Chevelle it would take some of the history and excitement out of driving it and maybe I would drive it more, maybe I wouldn't stress about taking it a few hours on the highway, but that's what I have the Corvette for. I think if I had to only have one vehicle it would be the Chevelle with an LS7 and six speed as that would blend the best of both worlds. As stated, it would take some of the history out of the car but allow me to use it more so it's a toss up. [/QUOTE]
