Low temp thermostat

[Mike Rolica]

Here we go, "mines bigger than your's is" male ego thing. No matter how fast
you are, there is always someone faster.  I take pride in the fact that I
built it, I assembled it I drive it.  I enjoyed every part of it and I
learned allot along the way...and still am. Can we stick to some usefull
info?

BTW It may look like grandpa's pickup, but I still get a great amount of joy
munching stock stangs and transmaro's :-):-):-):-):-):-)

	Oh Dave, I wouldn't be so sure... remember, he said an lt5, that's
the zr1
	motor.  Those puppies put 405hp out (actually, 396 at the rear
wheels) in their
	last (95) incarnation.  There's a yellow zr1 called the Pineapple
Express in
	hawaii, which Mario Andretti drove for a publicity shoot a couple of
weeks ago...
	the car can do over 200mph, it has a stroker lt5 motor (415cid), and
is rated at
	close to 700hp, all naturally aspirated and completely street legal.
Those are
	awesome motors, it pains me that whenever GM finally does a motor
right they cut
	production.  The motors were designed by lotus and built by Arizona
Speed and
	Marine.
