    My tires are crap... old and bald 245-45-17 BFG's.

    Spinning the tires at the top of 2nd, from around 60mph: P1020663.flv video by bhuff66062 - Photobucket
    Well, that was a bit scary, but it hooked after letting off and getting back on it.

    Let's see if 3rd will hook from 60mph: P1020661.flv video by bhuff66062 - Photobucket
    Not quite, still a bit of slipping from 65 to 75mph before it hook fully.

    Lets try from about 70mph in 3rd: P1020662.flv video by bhuff66062 - Photobucket
    Ahh, finally hooked. :)

    I can't wait till spring to get the nittos back on.

    It has 3.73 gears, plus about 400 rpm of converter slip. The transmission is a C4, so 3rd is 1:1.

    That thing is fast! Especially for a 4-banger :)
