Torquewar loves the same sort of stuff..running the fast new cars or beating up on the Dodge boys or BBC guys.

That is a never ending sickness. Once you cure that your expenses drop dramatically
My father still has that sickness, and even at his age went and built that 571 for the street. It'll easily click off some 10's when the car is dialed in. I have a chevelle that goes bottom 11's with a mild 454, and plans to drop a more rambunctious 502 in it to see if it will go 10's. But to be honest it's not high on the priority list and I'm certainly not doing it to compete with new cars. Quite frankly I enjoy driving the other classic cars just as much that only run 13's and 14's. They are just a pleasure to drive and that's what I'm in this hobby for.
