It's been a while since I've taken you guys for a ride...

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by SamIyam, Apr 19, 2011.

  1. Get in boys and girls! We're going for a ride in the '55!

    Let's idle through the neighborhood... it's not as loud outside the car as it is inside the car.

    Listen to the whine of the M22... it's music to the ears!

    Once out of the neighborhood there's a good stretch of road... a little over an eigth mile to get on it... and about that to shut her down... so a good run is ahead of us.

    Now some people think short stroke motors rev faster than this long-stroke big inch small block Chevy... hahaha... ok, whatever.

    7000rpm, drop the clutch... get out of shape... peddal a bit... get back on it with traction and run it up to 7000 in 1st... then 7000 in second... then up to 6500 or so in 3rd and let off.

    Our turn into the neighborhood is coming up soon!

    Hope you enjoyed the ride!

    Oh yea... use your head phones or hook this video up to your stereo speakers... it's worth it!

    Great ride, Sam, but that strap on your gas pedal would drive me crazy! I could see my foot getting caught on it every time I shifted!

  13. Love it. Sounds great. Yeah, small blocks SUCK! :D Wish you lived in my neighborhood. I also wish we could see out the front when you were hammer down, but I loved watching the pedals too.
