Street Gear Poll

If some smartass in brand X pulls up next to you at the lite,which gears
do you want out back?If you try using the "I don't have the traction" excuse,that's on you,
they sell the tires that do.
If the same smartass does that on the hiway,now which gears do you
want out back?If you try the "my car probably isn't safe at that speed" excuse,that's also
on you,it can be if you want it to.
Simply put,"street" means different things to different people, diabolical
pollsters!!
I have driven a car 145mph w/ a 4spd, that I drove later w 4.89's which
came in at about 4000rpm at 65mph w/275/60 15's. The eng. temps would slowly climb out
of control on my 1hr50min drive to the track,so economy being a mandate at the time,I put
a spraybar system in front of the rad. hooked to an extra washer tank& sw. to it.It worked
and a flip of the switch'd bring the gauge back to my temp. "comfort level".That's what I'd
put up with in my 20's,operating on a shoestring budget,never again these days.
The thing I hated most about RWD and going fast/steep gears,is the thobbing drone of
driveline vibration,can't stand it.Going 130 in the ShelbyZ you can hardly tell,the same in
any RWD regardless of the gear & you know it. OD trans does exactly the opposite I want
extra gears to do,give me 2.74's and 1 or 2 steeper lower gears and I'll pick a diff. to take
the extra torque thank you very much.
