it'll act almost like it is slipping, not really to good for a street driven car, but a lot would depend on what the stall speed is. Your wife is awsome. Peace,,,Moosie

I thought I was doing good when my wife came home and told me I should go look at a vette she saw for sale, I looked at and bought my 75 2 years ago. Your wife went one step better, sounds like a real keeper both wife and car. Best of luck with your new ride.
