Paul is having a new car built locally in So.Cal. and is involved in the new " Direct Connection" revival. Still a bundle of energy. He has always used a built Torque-flite. His company was Rossi Racing Transmissions. He got those wheels up launches with his own technique. The Seventies is...

Chrysler has built Millions of engines that way for many decades. But they are not Racing engines. They are passenger cars needing to have a factory warranty for many 10,000 of thousands mixed purpose miles. Just like buying anything custom, you can get whatever you are willing to pay for...
