Not to worry, Ron.  I am not a street racer ... never was.  And I know having a very high performance vehicle does NOT make it safe - nor even safer.  HOWEVER that 350hp 350 El Camino has no problem passing on the highway and merging into fast moving expressway traffic can be done almost instantly!  Ah, yes ... there is nothing like the feeling of getting up to highway speed before the end of a short 'on' ramp even if there is no traffic on the e-way ;-)
