  5. You're going to love the Scat Pack. The low end torque is awesome.

    This is how every nailhead GS should be built! Cool to see pictures after all these years of hearing about it. Nice job!

    AND, don't forget that 12.38ET is with the original ST300 2spd!!!!!! AND NO fancy low gears. A street friendly/drive-able on the highway 3.23. Would have probably been even FASTER with 3.42's or 3.55's or 3.64's.. BUT, then you would more than likely had traction problems coming out of the hole.
    Extremely impressive being it's a FULL WEIGHT, completely stock appearing original Gran Sport AND looking good while doing it!!!!!!!!!
