@HeadTater: I've driven a few of these, and they're definitely not underpowered. Acceleration feels pretty similar to a small-block-powered GM A-body, only it keeps pulling well past 100. Read more

@RadioFlyerPartDeux: It takes me a couple days to sort out the photos and assemble the Top Lemons post after a race, especially when it's a West Coast race with 100+ entries. Read more

@Xargs: LeMonaider: I would not recommend the Chevy engine for this car; 80% of SBCs blow the hell up in LeMons racing. Instead, they need to go with two supercharged GM 3800s, connected at the crank, to make a dual-blown V12. Read more

@LTDScott: Yeah, they blew their E30's head gasket early on and just gave up; apparently, nobody on the team felt like turning wrenches in the heat. Very disappointing. Read more

@MushyHeirloom: I think he was starred, but it disappeared. Much the same way in which the Gawker Server Hamsters keep disappearing my avatar images and replacing them with the one I had in 2007. Read more
