So I guess that big ol' LT4 motor doesn't have much
low end?

If you think you were bogging, you shoulda tried those
last two turns (and the hard right before the left
turn into the first slalom) in second gear with a 1.6L
Miata!  Of course, in first gear with my car, I was
getting serious wheelspin out of those turns. I have
to get my VLSD rebuilt; it would have helped Sunday.
