Agree with everyone else! first off try to keep it at the track! and if you cant resist I dont see why a race would go over 120 mph.
PS i had a few 5-70ish with a new SS the other day, lets just say the 4.10s are doing their job. kid looked like a fool in front of his buddy, im sure he would have caught me at 80 plus but i cut off at 65 70ish twice.
4.10 ftw

i got 4.10s in my vortech gt and after a few highway runs with another member here its rediculous how fast you lose:
you both start in 3rd, go for it then you have to shift sooner than a car with stock gears, your in 4th hes still in 3rd then he shifts to 4th and soon you have to shift to 5th and hes still in 4th.
highway races with 4.10s suck

its not really about going to 125, its the fact that from a roll you are gunna fall behind more and more when you have to shift to the next gear while the other car with longer gears is still in a lower gear. from a dig your acceleration makes up for it, but from a roll they are useless. My suggestion is if you only race at the stripe get 4.10s or 4.30s, but if you do race on the highway, stick with the taller gears.

odd, I know with my 4.10s I had the speedo buried in 4th gear, I do agree with the 1st, 2ns and 3rd gear speeds though. imo though u shift more u get through the gear faster but ur increasing speed faster(or quicker, whichever way u look at it). and the gearing in the rear end doesn't determine ur shift points, it's the tranny right?
anyway 4.10s all the way, be it strip or street
