With these nice high stall converters today any auto can be fun on the street. Besides my left foot is always resting lightly on the brake pedal, I can start to brake before my right foot is completely off the gas.
I have a nice PTC 3,500 in my Duster, while it's nice, it's still not nearly as fun to drive as my old-school A833 Dart. And my Duster has a better built, faster small block in it.
