I know these cars are awesome at the drag strip and wooping up on vettes in the quarter mile is fun, but to pass some gutless vette owner hard on the brakes going into a turn on a road course, now that is bad ass. I enjoy doing this with a car that most people dismiss as a threat outside of the dragstrip.
I have a 69 Mercury Cougar that is setup for handling and has punished its fair share of high-end sports cars, camaros, vettes and late model mustangs in the curves. That is what I want to do with my WE4. I have researched the manual transmission route and the opinions are mixed and as much as love banging gears, the setup I am leaning toward is 4L80E or 4L65RR full manumatic with F1 style paddle shift. It is expensive but alot of guys at lateralg.net with big turbo cars swear by them. I think this could give the Turbo Buick respectable road racing ability and still put the smack down in the quarter mile. Anybody gone this route yet?:biggrin:
