Well thats a tough sell on the wife. Most women don't appreciate a car beyond getting from point A to point B and having it look nice.
I cant tell you how to massage her mind but here we go
its a dream car and having it the way you want it to be is part of being that successful person...
Its something that ever since you were a kid you have always wanted and now that you have that great wife and successful marriage you want the icing on your cake.
You'll buy her something just as nice
You were going to s/c it a anyway and it runs a risk of being broken that way and this is so much better and you will not ask for anything again for a long time...
The car will be the first one on the block with a precision built HKE 416 and it comes with a new T-shirt for her wear as well.
She would be the envy of all the other wives when they heard/saw her rumbling up in the Camaro. A 400+ cubic inch hi compression engine has a distinct sound like no other when it starts and rumbles down the road .. you will turn heads
What I told my wife: engine broke had to replace it...
I run one of our 457's. 750 fwhp 91 octane pump gas fire breathing beast of an engine. You want prestige and people to know your packing...LOL.. you go with one of them... I cant tell you how many old timers have approached me out of the blue at a stop light or something to give me a thumbs up. The younger crowd is just blown away by it.
You cant hide displacement. Blowers make huge power but n/a is the bragging right and sound that everyone wants.
