    I didn't have a 4 speed car for so long and I hated it. I'll never get rid of my Camaro for that reason. Even if it gets replaced as my favorite driver, I'll still keep it to rip through the gears.

    Oh I hear ya Ryan! I have a super T-10 in my little Nova shifted with a short stick Hurst Competition+ shifter. It is a 3.42 first gear and even with the 3.08 rear end, it squats like a duck and I'm thinking that the front wheels are real light on a good launch. When second gear comes (2.88) the tires really complain and I see God momentarily. Third (1.46) is a welcome reprieve. Yup - the ol' four speed is definitely part of hot roddin' and if I have to explain, ya just wouldn't understand.
