Not Ranked
I seem to recall $39,800 as a roller chassis. Typical out the door price of MkIII Roadsters was between $55K and $65K, depending on your tastes and pocket book.
The "useless 1st and 2nd" is overcome by the 3:27 rear end. Having had both a Tremec 3550 and now a TKO 600....as well as the Ford 3:73 limited slip, and now the 3:27 Torsen locker, I've observed the pros and cons of each. I can honestly say the TKO 600 with the .82 overdrive and the 3:27 locker is THE perfect combination. You can really use first gear again, as well as second. The 3:27 provide plenty of hole shot...and limits your wheel spin at the same time. Plus...like I said earlier...when you're cruisin' along at ~70, the power train is a lot more civil at 2250 revs than 3300.
Oh..and with the Tremec 5 speeds...they all have the correct forward sweep of the shift lever...unlike some have noted.
But...talk to Dennis and Mark...they'll set you straight. Another good thing about Dennis...like his Dad, Bob....he's never sold a car to a stranger. Once you meet him and talk with him a lot as I have over the years, he becomes a friend. I trust his judgement and advice completely. He's knowledgeable about the product, can recommend what's more suited to your driving style, and can back up his reasoning and advice with service and support. All in all, a great combination.
