Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Toyota plant workers make case for unionization

The only reason I asked, is because I've got this racing simulator game...stop laughing...that allows you to change the Gear ratios of every gear in the tranny.

I know the automatic gets a different ratio setup in the Vette, but in the game I bought a C6 Corvette, kept it stock and changed the gear ratios to the Auto setup, with the 2.56 FDR, and the 4.02 first gear - and then I switched it back to the manual, 3.65 or something FDR, and 2.66 first gear.
The simulator calculated the same zero-60 and 1/4 mile numbers for both.

I feel you when you say that on the same tranny a steeper FDR will increase performance, but if it's NOT the same tranny, and it was matched up to the FDR - like I did in the game - does it matter?
