It was wicked loud and wicked fast. Heâ€™s the reason I got into Daytonaâ€™s.  Once I had mine I met a guy in eastern Kentucky who had a smorgasbord of parts in his garage due to all of his builds. Needless to say he and I did a lot of business and became good friends. Got to the point Iâ€™d drive several hours to his place and crash there for the weekend while heâ€™d give me tons of stuff and weâ€™d bolt it all in. He passed a few years later. Those 2.2â€™s were some stout motors and for people whoâ€™ve never had the pleasure of toying with one have no idea just how fast they were. My two uncles use to race a lot when o was younger. One had a brand new 87 mustang gt and the other had a new Shelby z Daytona in 88. The stang always won off the line but from about 60 on the Shelby would come around and leave him. Both were 5 spds and theyâ€™d switch up to see if it was drivers difference. The Z always won. I took both of them for rides almost 20 years later when I finished building mine. They loved it.
