I'm gonna give you an engine low to the ground ... extra thick oil pan to cut the wind from underneath you. It'll give you 30 or 40 more horsepower. I'm gonna give you a fuel line that'll hold an extra gallon of gas. I'm gonna shave half an inch off you and shape you like a bullet. I'll get you primed, painted and weighed, and you'll be ready to go out on that race track. Hear me? You're gonna be perfect.
