pft...you're just now discovering what a lot of folks discovered 25 yrs ago.

That's pretty cool! I saw a white one with brown stripes the other day, even took a picture. The kid though I was nuts. I agree, adapt a manual 'box some kind of way and 'row your own'. It shouldn't be real difficult to make it handle, too.

I always thought those were much better looking cars than the ones from GM and Ford they were designed go compete against. If it were mine I'd get a set of Torq-Thrust D wheels. That'd look awesome

Already had a n offer to buy it for more than I paid. Not selling though. Haven't sold a car yet ( not counting parting out my Mazda)and don't plan too. I donate them all to my old highschool auto shop.

Fixed the fan switch today and noticed the kick down lever was fully extended and tied off so the tranny thought it was WOT all the time. I'm assuming the guy wanted 3rd to come as late as possible at the strip

This is about 3/4 throttle.

I got to really drive the car today. 55 miles home on the highway and tolling around town. On the way home I ran 70ish at 3500 rpm. Gas consumption wasn't too bad considering the short gearing. Car felt really stable except the steering was a little vague, needs a few rubber bits replaced.

Around town its tame if you want it to be and is a real beast if you mash on it. My friends enjoyed it too and a bunch of car nuts are giggling like school girls is the hallmark of a fun car.
