    The Butternut with those pearl white stripes is unique and tasty. Love it. Also, like you mentioned, the slick street racing move is leaving the 350 emblem on the fender. ;-) Donnie's cool af.

  • @RandyJM21
    @RandyJM21 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I ADORE that he left the 350 badge and has a semi quiet exhaust even though it still sounds healthier then a stock small block .
    I LOVE SLEEPERS MORE THEN MOST ANYTHING .
    This car has a trick but subtle paint AND the wheels are fancy and loud somebody might think it's a clean car with nice bling wheels and more of a cruiser . I don't reckon everybody will recognize it right away as a Savage big block car although many WILL hear the not so loud but telling exhaust note and realize the engine is not a mild 350 .
    I like a sleeper with the most quiet exhaust one can run that has dumps you open to scare the bejeezus out of somebody when they discount you and then you savage them .
