IF YOU THINK IT HANDLES WELL NOW...IT WAS SO GOOD BEFORE...DIDN'T EVEN NEED 
BRAKES!!

WHEN YO PAY $300 FOR THAT "QUICK STEER" BOX...IT WILL SEEM LIKE NOT A BAD

HANKIEPOO...YOU SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS :
1  NEVER DRIVEN A CAR OF THE 60'S
2 HAVE A SHORT MEMORY
3  DOESN'T READ POSTS  UNLESS IT CONCERNS THEM
4  DOESN'T UNDERSTAND CARS VERY WELL!  GGGGGGGGGGG

IT'S NOT THE TRANSMISSION!  ALL CORVAIR TRANS HAVE A 1:1  TOP GEAR.  IT'S THE 
DIFFERENTAL RATIO! THAT'S WHY LARRY'S 3.08 GEARSETS ARE SO POPULAR!   STILL, 
2700RPMS@60 WITH 24" TIRES.   YOU PROBABLY HAVE A 3.89! 3500 RPM@60.

A "QUALITY REBUILT STOCKER" CAN REV AT 4000 RPM ALL DAY LONG....DON'T YOU 
REMEMBER ALL THE POSTS ABOUT "SOUND DEADENING MATERIALS" [ DYNAMAT]

"KRYLON PAINT" MAKES CORVAIRS NOISY!  AND YOU HAVE LOTS OF NOISE!    LOL!!!

WAY TO GO DUDE!!!    DRIVE ON!

PS  MY ULRA CARS ARE CRUISE AT 80!!!  NO SQUEAKY ROCKERS!!!!
