Pearl V8 5-speed

[Bob DAmato]

First thing I said when I drove my Boss' 750 was "Wow, the tranny takes
half the power!". The only experience with the v8 is my 5speed and weve
raced on several occasions. And on no occasion did he ever win. A few
times it seemed close, but the v8 won each time. Lots of variables here
so I wouldnt take it to the bank as the v8 being quicker, Im not sure
how hard he pushed it but he said he had it all out.
