Default Re: endurance record

Too bad they didnt just run the record in 6th gear.

5th gear with 3.08 gears at 5500rpm and a 25.7" tire gives you 182 mph.
3.33:1 gives you 167mph
3.45 is 162mph
3.55 is 158mph
3.70=151mph
4.11=136mph

In 6th gear with 4.56 gearing you can still run 184mph
4.11=204mph
3.70=227mph
3.55=236mph
3.45=243mph
3.36=250mph
3.08=273mph
But the driveshaft would be spinning at twice th engine rpm, or 11,000rpm in 6th gear with 4.56 gears and 5500rpm engine rpm at 184mph.
