OK mid mounted big Olds V8, but what about the rest of the journey from the flywheel to the road?

Turbo-Hydramatic TH475.  Basically, the same driveline which made the Toronado a front wheel drive car.  Half-shafts protruding from what looks like a standard 60’s big block automatic transmission.

IMO, far too many cars get built with automatics when they deserve so much more.

You kids get offa my pressure plates!

Oh I get it. I thought it was something about that specific trans.

There's a reason I wanted the 6spd in my mustang. It's only right.

Hey!
Look what the cat drug in!

Good to see you man, we've missed you.

Jimi, yes... certainly.  The car? Not so much.  Also: spelling is Camaro.  [cheeky]

Oops.  Thanks, Stew.  But that got me thinking, why is it pronounced cah-mayr-oh?  Why not cah-mah-ro?  I looked up the name origin and according to Wikipedia:

Quote
Estes then announced a new car line, project designation XP-836, with a name that Chevrolet chose in keeping with other car names beginning with the letter C such as the Corvair, Chevelle, Chevy II, and Corvette. He claimed the name suggests the comradeship of good friends as a personal car should be to its owner and that to us, the name means just what we think the car will do... go. The Camaro name was then unveiled. Automotive press asked Chevrolet product managers, what is a Camaro? and were told it was a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs.

This is the epitome of terrible marketing-speak.
