5 speed ........ HA!

My friend at work has an auto Ram Air TRANS AM. I just wanted to tell everyone that we left work together. We both turned left and floored it at the same time. He spun out to the left of me, I spun out to the right of him...(Hold button on in first gear) at 8000 rpm I shifted into 2nd , he was a half car behind, At 80 into third he was 1 car behind!!! HA HA .... My slow, "Doggomatic " smoked a 325 hp TA!!!!!! UP t0 100 mph then, I smiled and let off!!! HA ha 5 speed conv? as if ? I dont need to spend $ 500 and get a 2500 rpm stall!!! I'm convinced that a 2500 rpm stall will smoke a 5 speed? Am I wrong?

An auto FD is better than no FD at all.. still smokes at least 90% of the cars on the road.
