I don't see this car very often which is to bad because it's really nice.
 

I saw this car for the first time at the Firefighters car show a couple of months ago but didn't get a chance to talk with the owner because I had a question about his car. However that evening I caught up with him to ask a few questions.
 

Here is what I'm talking about, why are there two shifters in this car? His answer...he has two  turbo 400 transmissions in it, back-to-back. For my next question he must have read my mind, "why two"? The answer was so he could have all different kinds of gear ratio's without changing the rear gear. He says there are 12 different combinations of gear ratio's depending on what gear each trans is in. My next question was "knowing that Turbo 400's aren't really horsepower friendly and that he has two of them, what kind of horsepower loss did he have"? His answer was that only one trans would be working so the horsepower loss wouldn't be any worse than if he had one.

Now how can that be? If there are two transmissions and you were using each one along with two torque converters then I think you would have double the parasitic loss due to using dual transmissions. I mean if you had each trans in some kind of gear, then wouldn't you be using both transmissions at the same time? I call 'bullshit' on his answer for this one.
