Phil,  When purchased the car had a clutch issue in that ALL clutch action ( read engage/release ) was in the last possible 1/2 inch of pedal travel. This was not a problem on the Interstates.  The cooling was good with the engine never going over 175deg.

 

The engine was "built" and later chipped...  The flywheel HP was 212 and after the chip session, rear wheel HP was 147.  It utilizes a Street-Pro Freeway flyer Type 1 gear box with 3.88R&P on a Quaife limited slip differential.  I believe 4th is a .82.

 

The engine revs about like you expect but the extra torque brings red line up very quickly. It idles at 800rpm with no hesitation on take off once warmed up.

 

Its a grocery getter rocket....       Best of both worlds? Maybe...

 

Jack,  When it was "raining" I just sunk my butt into the seat, got below the windshield and put it on 65mph....  Very little rain problem if traffic kept moving...
