About This Car:
Although it is setup for drag racing, my number one concern was always driveability first.
Because of that, it's always been an excellent driver, and has served perfectly as my daily driver, with the exception of winter months, as I never drove it in the winter.
Reliable transportation, and even in its modified form still gets 25+ MPG on the highway.
