Shinyhubcap,

In response to : May I inquire as to your above post ? WHICH cars "do not handle well at higher speeds"?

My experience with Packards as a driver is entirely confined to the cars with beam front axles and mainly the 1920's and I have no doubt that the later models with independent suspension are much better.
However the topic was about gearing and potential engine damage so lets leave it at that.
