Al;
yep I remember VIR very well.......
While not up on automatics and stall speeds,I would have thought you'd need less stall speed for a lightweight Cobra, maybe in the 2000 to 2200 rpm range,I thought the higher stall speed (3000+ rpms) were needed for those big heavy cars like the old Galaxies....
Unless I have things backwards,which wouldn't be out of the norm for me...
