Ya, its not even the loss of the nickle im worried about... Its the abrupt finding of the nickle by some moving part at 150mph that has me worried.

You guys have seen the video of the nickle test right?

On a truly good running LT5 engine you can balance a nickel.

You guys realize that now I'm going to have to do it just to prove to the hubby that it can be done, right? Only problem is...the hoods too heavy for me to lift by myself

Canadian nickel will not balance on my cars but the US nickel will balance on both.
