First off, welcome to the boards!!

For me it comes all down to dollars and cents. The first thing I think of when I see "454 Rat" and "12;s at the strip" is horrendous gas mileage and never being able to enjoy driving it because it takes half a paycheck to prime the carb.

I personally would much prefer driving in comfort and style for a longer distance than going like a bat out of hell once a month.

But I'm living paycheck to paycheck working nights at Walmart, so you might have an entirely different financial situation than me. But I'd go with the first one if it was me.
