Sounds like a plan!!! Stroker is NICE!!!
Yeah, I know what you mean by light to light then road racer. When I was a teenager, I used to do the light to light deal in an old Bonneville with a 400ci engine, surprised a few cars. All stock except for a Trans Am shaker hood scoop.
I had a 5th Ave I beefed up with a Holley carb/Weiand 2p intake (sometimes ran a Rochester Quadra-Jet), modified side exhaust and added extra leaf springs to help the handling. I used to race around on Soldiers Field Road and Storrow Drive, what I called my own personal race track. It was a cool road that ran along the Charles River in Boston, had some nice curves. Road racing is a lot of fun, not just stomping on the gas but you get to know the limits of your car's handling on curves and such. I used to see the same Porsche 944 on Storrow Drive. Always had him on the straights but lost him on the curves. The 5th ave wasn't lightning fast but could do 55MPH in 1st gear after the mods.
After that I had a '90 Acura GS with Mugen racing struts/coils/exhaust/sway bars and that car handled great. That car really hooked me on tossing curves with another car but I had to be careful as that car handled really well, not all the cars that tried to race me could handle as well and it made for a car doing a 180 spin on Storrow, heading into oncoming traffic, trying to keep up with me. From that day, I just went fast on my own, fearing the lives of others may get in danger.
