    Oh Hell Yes !!! Once you've owned a Rock Crusher (M22 4-spd), you'll never forget the sound (whine) it makes. I had one in my 1970 GTO Ram Air IV, 1970 SS396 Camaro, and others. Thanks for the memories. Drive On.

    Proof you don't need 500 at the tire to have fun! Some of the most enjoyable vehicles I've driven have been sub 300 cars. Some of the worst have been 1200 hp temperamental beasts that are unpredictable and hard to stop

    Pulls like a freight train.! And yes it is going to need a clutch. It should be barking the tires on the shift from 1st-2nd. And from 2nd to 3rd.

      Residential areas are the best places to flex your car. Please don't come here with that. You say he's good for beating on it, and these cars deserve to get beat on in every gear, on every street, in front of every building, night or day.

      I cringed at the shifting---no rev-matching at all. Be smooth, or you lose. Nothiing like the sound of the HO combined with the whine of the M-22.

      No rev matching on downshifts and rather clunky shifting up through the gears. Maybe the car is new to him or not his. He seems a bit unfamiliar driving the bird.
