Isn't overdrive transmissions GREAT!

I just found this picture taken by a buddy of mine. We were on The Hot Rod power tour, cruising at about 90 miles per hour and you can see where the tach was!

90 MPH at 2000 RPM's!

I wish my Dart could do this:

That is correct. 4'th gear ratio is 1:1 5'th gear is .74:1 and 6'th gear is .50:1 . So yes it is a 6 speed manual with the top two gears being overdrive gears.

That car was a blast, I want another one.

I have no idea why I was think that OD was just for automatics.

That is very cool though.
