RE: [Chrysler300] a few U-tubes I don't recall seeing mentioned

Interesting that, in the drag races, they always emphasize the transmission
is left in Drive.  Perhaps a Hydramatic or a Dynaflow would perform better
if in Low or Super???

It's been years since I've driven a Torqueflite car, but I recall punching
"2" altered the shift points and enhanced performance, also.  I also recall
reading that the optimum drag race procedure for a PowerFlite car was to
start in "D", shift to "L" after launch and then shift to "D" again just
before the valves float.

Thanks, Paul.  Enjoyed those.  I wonder what General Motors came  up with as

a "rebuttal"?  Not much I would imagine.   In  1958 GM----at least 
Buick----would have had the advantage in the brake fade  test with their
finned aluminum 
drums.  It is too bad Chrysler did not  have the plant capacity and the 
quality in 1957.  They were so superior in  all other product aspects they
could 
probably have regained  #2 and  maybe  in a few years....who knows?  
300ly, Gil C.
