I do have to get rid of the demon though, I think my old holley is more consistant and faster.
I had a car do something simular once, under power it was straight as a string but let out of it and it was a hand full !
The problem turned out to be not enough positive caster which actually got worse when the front end settled down.
I had the front end realigned with more positive caster and it drove like a proveribal cadillac! :D

The name of your car should be obvious:

"Top Dead Center"

If it was an Opel Kadette, I'd go with Der Mini-Brute II or something as a tribute to the original. If you had painted it pearl white, then it could have been the Opal Opel. Or go with the "When I grow up I wanna be a Corvette" theme. Diminuitive Vette? Babelfish translates "Miniature Corvette" into German as "Minikorvette". Maybe Mein Korvette?

Ich bin eine Korvette (I am a Corvette)

Ich möchte eine Korvette sein (I want to be a Corvette)

Searching www.google.de for Opel GT I see original advertisements stating „nur Fliegen ist schöner“ which I guess literally translates to "Only flying is nicer".
