Smooth is the word. Took the wife for a drive Saturday morning, went in town and had the car appraised. Made my day at $5K more than I paid for it. Hit our favorite lonely country road on the way home. Hit 120 mph in 4th gear in no time at all and she had plenty left.

Awesome car. I sold mine or I should say my wife's to my brother last summer. Black 98 WS6 6 speed. Beautiful cars and a blast to drive.
He had it tuned, put headers and exhaust on it. Got it in the 12's.
Neat cars.

"Hit 120 mph in 4th gear in no time at all and she had plenty left"

here is rough comparison just in case you forget Harb...

I hit 120 & taking up 2 lanes.... 4th gear nothing left... my azz is puckered, I can't even hear my wife yelling & screaming over the motor, but I feel the punches into my leg which is buried into the pedal. The steering wheel that separates me from life & death puts cramps in my white knuckles & the 327 in the firewall just inches before me is screaming for its life like a boxer in 12th & last 10 seconds, my brain is trying to scan how much room I will need to slow down w/ the drum brakes... my blood pressure is high, my stomach is in knots.... & I want to do it again anyways.

That is Scooter & wife in the 68 Chevelle @ 120MPH.... which is not as smooth as Harb & wife in the TA. I really don't see any downside here... makes me wanna try something newer/safer.

This was me the first pass in my Nova.....big block , glide with brake, 5.13 gears.... and 4 wheel manual drum brakes that I forgot to test.

Funny you say that Scoot, same road in the Spring of 2012 we took the 73 Camaro on its first "leg stretch". Hit about 125 and she had a little left in her with the 3.08 rear gear but she was screaming and shaking and making all kinds of noise, so was the wife! :shock:
In the Trans Am she was just all smiles, kinda think she wanted a little more but we were running out of road pretty fast. Oh yeah, the A/C was blowing cold with the T-Tops out and she had cranked up her favorite song from Slash's new CD.
Its interesting how newer and safer feels good when you are getting older and wiser...
