Re: Gear ratio's and final drives
Went for a ride yesterday & here's what I have for engine rpm and mph:
So the cars sweet spot is 2100-2500 rpm. 2300rpm/60mph is perfect which is where I usually drive. When I go slower with a lower rpm, the engine seems to lug. When I step on the throttle in that rpm range, the car pulls great. Even when I go light on the throttle, the engine is very responsive.
3rd gear 1.49 ratio
30mph/1800rpm
40mph/2300rpm
45mph/2700rpm
50mph/3000rpm
4th gear 1.00 ratio
50mph/1800rpm
55mph/2100rpm
60mph/2300rpm
65mph/2500rpm
70mph/2700rpm
5th gear 0.76 ratio
60mph/1800rpm
65mph/2000rpm
70mph/2200rpm
