That's probably pretty snappy.

It was before the motor gave out, I like to say it’s like a little sports car lol.

Tell us about the exhaust manifold. Is there only one outlet pipe from the manifold?

There’s two, the stock outlet, and the front 3 into one outlet which is cut and welded, pretty much like the dutra duals. Had headers but it was really tight in a early dart being a four speed also made it difficult to access anything.

Do/did you sell those cut manifolds on craigslist?
If so I bought one from you a few years back..
