Ever since I was little I've been hooked. It all started with boats. My dad and uncle raced jersey speed skiffs which were powered by worked 327/350 SBC and open exhaust...I always loved the rumble. Next I was introduced to my dads 65 Stingray vert, side pipes..etc He bought it wrecked when he was 18 and did everything himself from the body work to building the engine..it was a 12 second car when he had headers and rear exit exhaust..now it has stock manifolds and sidepipes, though I'm convincing him to get headers again
There is just no other sound that gets my attention like a healthy, big cam chevy V8.
I'd like to add that I still have a matchbox 87 IROC-Z from when I was probably 4 or so..I always thought it was a cool car and never thought I'd own one..especially at 18 (when I bought it)
