What does "with two ignition keys after my Camaro purchase" mean? Anyway, now for the real question, Do You Drive It Like an OL'FART? My husband, also an Ol'Fart, drives like a 16 year old on VIAGRA! Yeah that's right, you gotta think about that one, and when I'm driving I stick him in the TRUNK or he'll drive me CRAZY. It's like he somehow grows extra hands seeing me drive and I have to keep smacking him up side the head and telling him to get his hormones under control! These cars do crazy things to all you Ol'FARTS!???...

I wouldn't call it really risky, but not something that I would mess with unless it's a 100% drag only car.

Me too foster. It is perfectly safe as long as you understand how it works. I would just want to spray a little for recreational purposes. I don't think i need a 450 shot!

Yes I agree. These cars bring out the young teenager in us all. The two ignition keys for the BOSS 302 is for real as Ford gives one key for general driving and another that lest the car/computer go nuts - like at the race track. I think the second key also opens up the factory side exhaust. This BOSS 302 only comes with a 6 speed manual and to save on weight doesn't have a lot of convienences like the Camaro. However our Camaro SS with 20" wheels leads the big three in stopping distance with 60-0 in just 111 feet..........I like that!

Our supercharged jetskis have a fast and slow key. Definitely gives us peace of mind when guests are out on them.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

We don't. All our toys are 5 hours away in Arkansas. It's a much better vacation when you're hours away from stupid real life!
