  1. jay is a really good driver , he is allowing the synchros some time to catch up between upshifts. You can hear him rev up, pause(maybe in neutral during pause) , blip to rev match and then engage the next gear and then floor it.
    Watch him in action here https://youtu.be/TZU5-5WCNb4?t=1118

  2. Gorgeous car. And the red is the perfect red for it. I think it's my favourite so far. The only thing I don't like are the air inlet scoops in the back window, that's a bizarre design.

  3. right there with the F1 McClaren, and Steve McQueens XXJ……….oh Jay, I am so flattered…..

  4. thanks so much jay. im a maximum chevy guy and to hear that 327 rumbling and screaming in the most beautiful car ive ever seen brought tears to my eyes, honest. thanks again jay

  5. That really is a beautiful car; the antithesis of the current plague of malformed disgusting badly designed aesthetically obtuse SUV garbage-mobiles!

  6. Consistent audio volume Jay. Other than that – absolutely 100% on your youtube channel. I rate your take on cars as high as Top Gear when it was still alive

  7. "… Chevy (gear)box …" "… geared for Le Mans …" Just guessing here, but I'm thinking the Le Mans 'box was a Muncie M-21 wide-ratio unit. The road box would be the M-22 close-ratio "Rock Crusher", both in an aluminum case with a 22-spline input shaft.
    Likely not stock. Meyer comments that they changed the ratios.
    The life I could have had.
