The only stick I have left is in my American. Every other one I had to drive on a regular basis had to go. So don't give me crap about the only one I have left.

2200 RPM @ 80 MPH yields 24 MPG! Drivability is excellent. A stick car is a pain especially on Power Tour.
A 700R4 needs only a TV cable and 12V. Its drivability reminds you of trucks? Ever driven a Corvette? The same gear ratios were in all automatic Corvettes from 1994 until 2005, even in Jay Leno's 1000HP twin turbo LS6 powered Toronado: http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/113_0502_1966_oldsmobile_tornado/photo_07.html
Also, the wide-ratio 700R4 argument is especially ironic, because racers still spend big bucks buying a low-gear ratio set for their TH400 drag car, which is constructed using a modified 700R4 low gear set, resulting in a 2.75 1st and 1.57 2nd ratios, which is almost as wide as the 3.06 1st to 1.63 2nd spread of the 700R4. And it cost $750! http://www.compperformancegroupstores.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TC&Product_Code=227500
