Gear Ratios & Gas Mileage
#17
[I read the thread about the killer posi unit Quaife is considering developing for our "G" Machines - maybe that, stuffed with taller gears (say, a 2.30-2.40 final drive instead of the 2.80 we have) would make my RPM/Gas Mileage/Unnecessary Wear concerns disappear (and some of my gas money reappear!).
This is just IMHO - what's yours ??

This car with a 2.30 final drive would have very poor response down low in return for low rpms at highway speeds and very good highway mileage. I heard the G has like a 3.50 final drive and as far as I'm concerned the higher the number the better. I bought the car for response not gas mileage.
