    Wow! 5 to 25 mph in 8 seconds flat!! Hold onto your hat, Nellie.
     
  3. Way cool! Thanks for posting this. What not many folks know is that back in the 20's and 30's, acceleration times were always done in high gear only, no speed shiting through the unsynchronized gears. Would be interesting what the times would be if they had a driver who was capable of running it (and double clutching it) through the gears.
