Not Ranked
I have a 5 spd in my Classic Roadster now. You are right, the 1 - 2 shift is too quick. I find that there are no "legs" in 1st or 2nd. I am opting for a CR toploader in the new car I have ordered. I have ordered it with a 3.54 final drive and will be running a 427 SO. With the 3.54 final drive, there might be a bit too much noise at highway speeds, but it is something I will deal with. I am going for "correctness." When I was visiting the SPF dealer, they were telling me that the 3.46 is a nice comprimise between the 3.31 and the 3.54.

A decent 427 - not the worst, not the best, will go from zero to 100 mph and back down again to zero in less than 14 seconds. All thing considered, you can put together a pretty good argument that the 427 Cobra is the ultimate performance car, judged on any basis you want to name."
