If only that OD 4speed didn't have that huge RPM drop from 1st to 2nd...

It’s a trade off. The car is pig heavy. IDK what the rear gear is but he can’t be anywhere near what it needs to be to get the SLR anywhere close.

Ideally you want the split in the 3-4 or 4-5 shift but you can’t always get that.

What he’s giving up in the 1-2 shift he’s getting back in spades the lower first gear to get it to move.
