<VV> 3.27 ve 3.55

[James P. Rice]

Frank:  Forgive me, but you said "set up the same" and then that the PG car
had a 3.55 and the 4-sp a 3.27.  That is not set up the same.  Put the same
diff gears in them, repeat the exercise and come back with the results.
Which will be different.

Or am I missing something here?

Historically Yours,

I have told you'all before, a 110 Corvair PG will run neck and neck with a
110 Corvair 4 speed if both are set up the same, i.e. stock tune up.

My friend didn't believe it until I bought his 64 110 PG from him and tuned
it up. He couldn't get away from me with his 64 110 4 speed.

The PG does not have the seat feel of performance you can get popping the
clutch. Real smooth takeoff. Passengers could sleep through it. ggg

But, GM put the 355 gears after the PG so performance would be equal to the
manual shift models with the 327.

Auto crossing with a PG is great! Leave it in low and hold your foot on the
floor. Apply brake only when really needed. Don't lift right foot. ggg
