When you get all the mods done and its time to get a few ricer
boys get them at the drag strip, not at 3.00am.
John Milner, had the fastest car in the valley, you may not.
Millner was killed by a drunk driver in 64. They don't let a bunch of drunks drive at the digs.

STANDARD SHIFT!
Theres nothing like the feeling of a direct hookup!
Just my opinion but you could put a stock L-48 with a standard and a built 500 HP in front of me an automatic and I would choose the standard shift
Its a whole different experience

I know, my first truck was a stick. Plus I have driven a variety of manuals. I like them very much.

IDK prob my uncles Audi. Very smooth shifter it was. Unlike those pesty mustangs with short throw shifters. You really need to fix that binding or whatever is going on.

Audis dont count
Im talking about V8 Muscle
Nothing at all like any other vehicle
I have onwed a few automatics and they lasted about 3 days until I found the parts and swapped them over to 4 speeds
Of course Im old now and my V8 Explorer is an auto but its more like a luxury car than a truck.....
