If you dont believe me your welcome to take it for a spin and I will show you the miracle that we call first gear.
I actually have quite a bit of experience with the mickeys, both the streets and the street radials.

Aired down a little with drag radials the car should hook up from a roll with 3.55s or higher. 4.10s no, unless they are heated up a lot (talking specifically for our sbf 427s). Off idle punching, it's going t spin.

Anyway, that got off tangent quick. I added my 2 cents and hopefully future readers use an ounce of common sense to figure out what is being discussed (specifically the definition of "useless" when referring to 450rwtq with 4.10s on the street, in first gear).
