You are right. The Hemi Dart in the Sept. '08 Hot Rod has a Lenco. The owner Gary says, "The Lenco freewheels in First through Forth gear when you get off the gas, which makes it very friendly to operate on the street. That means since there is no engine braking, you don't have to step on the clutch all the time when you are coasting to a stop." The owner says "Excess is good." In this case I think the Lenco is just about perfect.

Now I have something new to dream about. Imagine grabbing a gear with this type of setup...
