Finally shows Gear Ratios

What I dont understand they have a 7th gear why not shorten 5th and 6th a lil..
Id used .75 for 5th and .60 for 6th -- that take u to 200mph in 5th and 250mph in 6th

The point is to be able to cruise at speeds of 130+ Mph at the lowest possible rpm.

It will be awesome for the autobahn.

How about this....


This was on the drive home. 100 MPH. Check out the RPM with 7 speed manual. Not too bad man.

The thing cruises like a Lear Jet.

yeah.. the non-Z51 aka base.. has a wider 1st,2nd,3rd,5th,6th, and 7th..
this is rpm to speed chart.. the first chart i put up is a Z51 so u can compare this to first post
(skipped 4th gear since that same as chart in 1st post)
Dont pay attention gear ratios entered on the left that from Z51 i added below the chart showing i was comparing the base and z51
