Default Re: Is 1st Gear Too Short?

Thanks guys!!! I thought I was the only one who thought the gearing in this car is retarded... 3.27:1 rear end with a first gear that takes you to 22 mph before it's useless and a 6th gear that only hits the power band at 90 mph...

Now try and put a 3.80:1 rear end in the car and 1st becomes perfectly useless, 2nd takes you from a dead stand-still to 34 mph and 6th is now a gear that kicks you thru 80 to 138 mph in the perfect rpm range...
