Cool cars for sale that ain't yours!

[Goodspeed]

im going to take a wild guess and say its more about torque handling than efficiency.

Correctamundo. The TH400 is damn near indestructible. Most build the stock Toyota auto, but those start to let go around ~800whp. Several shops offer conversions for these cars for serious drag cars. They do rob a lot of power though, which only makes you consider that the original builder of the car likely had a street driven 2000hp car.
