Re: LT1 to LT4

Funny!
Lots of kids take the stoplight racing way too seriously. I certainly did at that age.Obviously a bit of levity is required, since there is always someone out there faster than you. Everyone loses a race occasionally and its not the end of the world.

As you say popular car culture has a lot to do with it and distorts kids expectations of their cars. Style becomes more important than substance. If the kids really wanted to go fast on a teenager budget they would all build themselves a SBC Gremlin................
(Now I think that would be cool!!!)
