Agreed but from what I can remember about the only thing slower than an original Ultramatic from a standing start was the early Dynaflow. Probably because both of them started in high range with the torque converter as the only thing providing the lower ratio.

I believe most other automatics had a fluid drive rather than a true torque converter but even with the less efficient fluid coupling and many times a smaller engine they had the advantage of starting in a lower gear which I think made a fair amount of difference..
