btw, 5th gear isnt 1:1, its .74 :1
Hahaha, oh thank you for throwing the BS flag. ive been waiting all night to prove that lucky contestant [you] WRONG, and believe me i shall back this up with websites, info, etc..
first of all i wanna know where you got your information on 150mph top speed with 3.73s. Im a M6 car, the gearing is slightly different than a A4. A4's would actually have a slightly higher theoretical top speed in 4th than i would in 5th, assuming the rear axle ratios are the same. Anyhow, the max speed in 5th gear with 3.73s in my car is 179mph with my rev limiter set to 6400rpm. at 6000 rpm, the max speed is 168, which i was over since my shiftlite comes on at 6k rpm and it climbed past that. at 6100 rpm the max speed is 171, and then it cut off, which would make sense since
i set my speedlimiter to 170mph on hptuners
1.)
www.f-body.org/gears has some accurate tables on LS1 cars. I know this because i compared the table to real life conditions, such as top speed/gear, speed while cruising at certain rpm in different gears, 3 different axle ratios that I have used- 3.42, 4.11, and 3.73 and also, different tire heights, such as 315 35 17s that i had on my ZR1s when i first bought the car, 245 50 16s and 255 50 16s, in which i currently have. It is accurate within 1 mph. when i was on the stock rev limiter, i had 4.11s with a 255 50 16 tire (26" tall) i used to hit the rev limiter going thru the traps in 4th gear- i trapped at 112mph and some change. if you go on that site, and put in the information it will tell you 113mph is the top speed at 6,000 rpm. in 4th gear. i have in car video of this to back it up as well if need be
2.) Top speed is limited yes, but as i stated earlier,
i changed the speed limiter to 170mph with HP Tuners
No need to apologize, i dont take offense to it, but i sure as hell wont have the BS flag thrown at me, especially when i know im right.
If i had any thought that i was wrong, i wouldntve just wasted my time posting that kill story, or any of this for that matter.
But please, do go ahead, look those sites up and put in my information. 1998 F body M6, 6400rpm redline, 26" tires, 373 gears. youll see. I have spoken
