The low 1st of the 700R4 and 4L60E are one of the strong points! It lets
you put a sane gear in the rear end (3.23 or 3.73) and still have an
efficient overdrive. While I can spin the tires at will, when I need
them to stick, they will stick. But then there is the fact that there's
12" of very sticky rubber back there... ;)
