For the record, you don't want steeper gears with all that extra torque available, turbo cars are torque monsters, relatively speaking. Taller gears help keep traction and so make for a faster car overall, especially in the lower gears. As far as the NA V6's go (at least the manual), 3.73's with decent tires would help a lot based on my experience. |
I believe they were in the upper 14s with traps in the low 90s... basically loosing all the boost on the shifts... having to baby the 1-2 shift... also apparently it takes a long time to recover from hitting the rev limiter... So basically would kill the whole run.. Rich was trying his darnedest to get a good run, but just couldn't seem to get there... Rich loves the STS setup on the street, like Z and Jim... but with a manual at the strip it seems to be a different story...
