Marlin, somewhere in there I see your point, I just have a hard time trying to figure out if there really is a difference of 100 miles on the strip or 100 miles on the street with a car that was built for that purpose. I cant see the difference except one situation has a christmas tree and the other a street light. In the good old Detroit days going to Detroit Dragway or Milan was actually a chance for our cars to get a rest as we had to wait our turn, and with luck get three or four passes in on a Sunday afternoon, while out on Woodward Avenue we were getting as many as twenty passes every Friday and Saturday night. This Nova is a perfect example, because of it's track history it survives today, while a great many of the same vintage muscle are long gone to the boneyard after the beating we put to them on the street. I would guess a very large percentage of these very cars left the Chevy dealership on their maiden voyage sideways in every gear. I dont think this particular car ever had slicks as I could not find any stress wrinkles in the quarters. Oh, by the way, I dont have my "panties in a wad" as you put it, actually I find you rather amusing.
