They were all Corvette 700R4 automatics with full-time viscous coupling four wheel drive. If I recall correctly, the torque split was around 30/70 front to rear. You could put it in neutral, give it a little throttle to build vacuum in the brake booster, and pump the brake pedal till they were locked solidly. Then, let off the gas, shift to drive while holding the brake. Feed in the go pedal till the turbo boost built and tromp on it and let off the brakes...5.2 to 5.4 0 to 60's with barely a 'chirp' from the tires. A real 'E' ticket launch ;>)
