The author pretty much paraphrased Car and Driver from their original review in '70 (well, kinda) and didn't go on to explain the enhancements that were made post '72.5/'73 to the shifting and power output. I added some comments to the post, but I probably made a few mistakes. Wrote that while working (like I'm doing now), so I'm only half paying attention.
Anyways, might be nice if others chime in. Or not. Whatever.
Woah, it's really Monday!
