mMmMmMm v8...

Well I finally got back into a vehicle... I went from my 305 auto camaro to a 5speed 6cyl Toyota pickup, to a 1.3L 5speed samurai, and now I'm in an 87 Chevy Stepside 3spd stick with a granny gear and a mild 350. Alls I have to say is its so good to come full circle back to chevy and feel that v8 power again. Which I think this truck is faster off the line than my friggin camaro.

Those 4 speed manuals with the granny low first are good for showing off if you get the urge....

low gearing =

at my work, we have a 85 GMC utility truck with a 8.2L diesel, and geared so low it tops out at 50 on the highway. I pulled the front wheels off the ground one day with a bunch of people watching from the loading dock. It was friggin' awesome.....
