Re: How many "Hot rods" used as Daily Drivers?
Here's my dd in the winter. In the summer I mostly ride my motorcycles, but pull my Camaro out a bit too.

No dyno results, just built to what Direct Connection recommends for 600hp &11.00-11.99 1/4 mi. It's not a GM bigblock, it's a 440 w/ported/polished 906 heads, 11.5:1 compression, .600 lift/314 solid lifter, 850 dp Holley, Hooker Super Comp headers. It's not a daily driver but it is carb'd and I can easily fire it up if it's 20 deg or 100 deg out and once it gets to temp it runs great. Here is the car that motor is in Here is the daily driven '72 carb'd tow rig |

Re: How many "Hot rods" used as Daily Drivers?
Hot rod means so much more than speed to me. I mean in reality I’ve seen modern electric cars (is it Tesla?) out accelerating exotic super cars like Lamborghinis but I think the emotions these cars give us is a big factor. Not many cars have ever made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I turn that ignition key like my 69 c10 does
