I'm sure you can along with several others posting on this thread. Doesn't change my mind that the majority of the guys driving the price of four speed cars up.... can't.
I recall seeing a fellow running high ten's with a 79 TA that had a Whitmore built 400 and manual trans. The car looked violent for the first three gears, I remember thinking to myself "maximum parts breakage". It's really cool to watch a well driven four speed car go down the track. Byron dragstrip used to host a "stick shift nationals" race. It was always fun to watch.
