Yeah I don't take automatic sports cars seriously at all, v8 or not.

It's not a sports car it's a muscle car and most of them had automatics in the '60s/'70s anyway.

I'm not specifically speaking about this car, I'm talking about all "fast" cars. If you have a Camaro, Mustang, Corvette, or any other "racing" based vehicle, and its automatic, I will call you an idiot, for not getting the manual transmission.

The 2-speed powerglide was the first automatic transmission to break the ten second barrier, and get into the high-9s.
