Default Re: Muscle car shootout on TV.....

Matt - "Welcome aboard" glad to hear from you. I enjoyed the shootout as well. I think they represented all the big auto makers fairly. 1 lucky guy got to hammer the pedal on all those nice wheels and get paid for it to. Now that's cooler than being the only rooster in the hen house.

That's why Joel's old guarantee stipulated the use of his driver to drive the car .........Off a roll in the 1/4, it would have been 1--2 Chevy........... .... My compliments to the owners for sacrificing their cars for the tests.....

i noticed the driver mispoke when he said the SC/rambler came with 3.56 gears. all SC's came with 3.54's. they also mentioned that all cars rean gears between 3.91's and 4.10's. were any other cars geared incorrectly from factory specs? anyone else catch any slip ups?
