I think a 3800ish pound car would have a hard time against anything modern, and sadly the pockets are rather shallow as well lol. But I want something fun and unique and not many people have a warmed over L8 Packard hence the appeal to me. I have had more than one person (especially Packard purists) say leave it alone and drive it in stock form but that just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe I'm the weird one lol.
