Probably the least inspiring manual car i have ever driven was a vb commodore L. The car was bought from a deceised estate, as basic of a car it was, stock 202, 4 speed manual, it was in mint condition. It was bought by a mate of my brother who had just got off a legnthy driving ban. The plan was to drop in the motor his dad built and gave him years earlier for his 18th. A perfect straight car for the 355 twin throttle body efi stroker holden v8. That thing made some silly numbers on the engine dyno, had all the bees dick parts, but for reliability was de tuned to 550hp on the engine dyno. The engine never made it into the car. Due to a sketchy driving history the blokes dad wouldnt let him put the motor in a tin can. The car got sold when the rego ran out for $600, the over built 355, that went for closer to $20k.
That thing would have been an absolute rocket ship being so light.
