Anybody running 276 gears?

There is a reason that when Chrysler started using 2.76 or 2.45 gears in economy cars they also produced Torqueflites with substantially lower 1st gears and half that amount lower 2nd gears

That's not quite the right timeline. 2.76 rear gears became standard equipment in 6-cylinder and non-perf V8/automatic A-bodies for 1968. The wide-ratio gearset didn't come out til 1980, when 2.45 and 2.26(!) rear axles were being used in heavy cars with weak engines. 0-60 maybe sometime next month!
