Haha, that's the same thing my friend went through, he got an '80 mustang when he was 14. I'm not really concerned with how fast the Datsun can go, as long as it can top 100. My car now is a Saturn VUE and there's a damn governer on it set at 100.
Mostly I just love how the Datsun looks. I mean, it looks like it's moving when it's standing still for one thing. And I love the three gauges on the center dash. droolio
I'm currently designing the chassis for my Porsche 917 Replica. Going to be contacting a company in Australia about their new "trilobe-cam" engine and asking if they'd be willing to supply us with a flat-12 version of it, thus making it a tech demonstrator. I hope 😬
Concerning muscle, The L88 Stingray and the 427 Cobra S/C were definitely the champs back then.
