I would love to hear whatever was there, if you can find it!
By the way, I found your comment about the ratios very interesting...
if you are talking aboout the Elan C/R three rail 'box, then you must
also (drool..) be talking about the Alfa C/R GTA 'box.
A quick comparison (and yes, 1st - 4th are darn near the same...)
Alfa GTA 2.54 1.70 1.26 1.00 0.86
Ford Three rail C/R 2.51 1.64 1.23 1.00
Or, were you talking about the semi-close?
