I'll bet you get a lot of weird looks from people when you pull up next to them and the engine's clattering away. Speed-wise, how does it compare to a Z28 or 5.0 Mustang?

yes, most people are quite confused by it. I've had people tell me to fix "the miss" in the engine, or "what kind of camshaft do you have in that thing?" "do you have a rod knock?" 
speed wise I did take down a new GT mustang on the highway. but nobody else will line up with me!!! 
the semi truck drivers love it!!! I get honks all the time.
