Wouldnt the 11" converter compensate a bit for the gear?

Converter only makes a difference for a short period of time. When the rpm matches on both ends it's done.

  but I bought that today....so why not sweeten the topic a bit and place a friendly wager on what she'll run with stock gears??  What do you want to wager that she wont run sub 15 sec....LOL!   Forrest,, PMM?  This will just push me to get the car to the track LOL   I will say that it is faster than My 2006 STI  not to start a new Vs old Muscle car debate but now that I do actually OWN  one of each I will say that my AMX would hand the STI it's hiney in a straight line! The STI however feels like a solid block of steel magnetized to the road..makes the AMX feel like a sloppy old car...it twists and lifts under hard acceleration,,,where the STI just tightens up and sucks up the road.

edited for language....
Please clean it up - what's all this, need the language to prove you are a big-time tough racer?

I hope you get a good run in and that nothing breaks.

I would hope that a an old muscle car would beat a rally car in a straight line Tongue

I never mentioned money!??   Maybe parts or something to that effect. A barter isnt gambeling. Thats cool though just thought it would make the "bench racing" more interesting when the timeslips are scanned and postedWink
