Default Thanks

Lot's of different ideas I see.

Tom, I believe you have an automatic tranny, right? Maybe I'm not as fast on the clutch as you are with the automatic, but I can spin the rear tire as long as I want in first gear (the Richmond tranny has tall gears), chirp the tire in second, but no other wheel spin. My rear tires are 345-35-18 oversize Viper tires. Maybe they stick better than I think. I'm sure they will do even better with a limited slip diff. I'm thinking of trying either a 3.10 or 3.25 ratio with the LSD. I can always go back and put the 2.75 gears in if I don't like it I guess.

When I said "road car", I meant no drag racing or autocross. Strictly a cruiser that will see some expressway driving, but I typically go out of my way to find back roads to my destination. I've never cruised for more than 100 miles at a time, so the highway cruise RPM is not that big a deal.

Thanks again!

Chuck
