I like to down shift and spin the tires while going about 15~20 mph but that's how I snapped my side yoke :crazy: .

No, it just squats and goes. Road & Track tested the 1979 L-82 at 15.6 and 91 mph in April of 1979. So I am not terribly ashamed of this time at the track last summer. My first try at the drags. Completely stock engine with all smog installed.

I haven't tried a burnout, but it likes to "bark" at me when I lean on the go pedal while driving down the highway.... :D

Well the 95 Ragtop will light 'em up pretty good, but I'm not sure if the old 71 will be able too or not. :D Hopefully by the time the weather turns warm I'll be able to test it.

Hold the pedal to the medal engaging the rev limiter. Pop the clutch. Car squats and takes off laying 80 feet of rubber. With stock tires it will spin considerably. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I still can't chrip going from 2nd to 3rd... but if I downshift from 4th to 3rd I can spin them a few times and take off quick...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? :confused:
