You're right Don that this thread did go way out there. But I appreciate the contributions made and it's fun to share some opinions.
And you're so right about the torque provided from a 390GT. My '66 GT/A would easily bark a nice squeal at the tires with the one-two shift when my right foot was to the metal. I sold my 'lane in '76 to a lucky 17 year old kid. The kid and his dad test drove it and the moment the rear tires layed the rubber with that one two shift - the car was sold. A very stupid decision on my part. A whopping......$1,400. That was honestly a decent price to get in '76. The fine Fairlane had 72,000 miles on it all from my wife and I.
But there ain't nothin' in the world like the shift a '69 Fairlane Cobra with C6-R code servo, 3.91 drag-pack gearing makes. I drove one right off the delivery truck in July '69. It absolutely would fish tail as it burned rubber with that one-two shift. That Cobra ran best by just leaving it in Drive and letting the factory set C6 do its thing. |
