So we decide to go down the highway about 8 mile, and the wife would
like to drive the brick (she only has once before). It's a standard 245.
Pull the choke, starts like a charm (as usual), roll down the driveway
in neutral and onto our sidestreet. I have told her you need to give
it enough gas to get going or you stall it, but I think she matched
the clutch travel with the right foot, and we were up to 40km/hr in
about 3 seconds, squealing tires and all. I had no idea the thing
could move like that! This is the barely 100hp B21A; rear end is 3.91 - kids said they preferred Mom's driving to mine, can't believe it...
