RacerGT said:Excuse me? Looks like you're the one being an ass. Just like you do in every thread. Now, please proceed to shutup before you make yourself look like a bigger moron.
DE-03GT said:So if I run 5.14's I shoudl be able to hit like, what 180 mph, this lower gear=higher speed make absolutly no sense. If your red line is 5800 rpm you'll hit it a lot faster with lower gears than higher. Why would you "run out of steam before hitting your top speed". I'd really like a logical explination for this.
husun said:You = the biggest moron in this thread. 4.10's and 3.73's will both increase your top speed. So if you're stupid dont reply.
RacerGT said:You'll run out of gear to get there, so this topic is pointless. Whatever.
Who will EVER need to go 180mph. Please, tell me that. I'd love to see you guys smeared all over the road from trying to do that on a highway. Morons.
husun said:Ok, with a stock GT and normal 3.27 gears you can only reach say 4000 rpms in 5th. This equates to so many mph. The reason you can't get past 4k is the air resistance at that point is more than the hp your car makes can overcome. Now say you switch to 3.73. You will be now at a higher rpm where the old air resistance used to stop you. higher rpm = more hp. The additional power will let you accelerate a little more.
There comes a point of diminishing returns though. It depends on how much power your car makes but evenutally a high enough gear you will be hitting redline where the air resistance stops you. So if you go even higher than that you will be hitting redline before top speed and will lower your top speed. This might be the case with 5.14's but i'm not sure what speed they max out at.
DE-03GT said:So your saying the extra 600 or so rpm will put you in a power band that will over come the air resistance, maybe in theory but real life it's bs. Lower gears mean lower top end. You may arrive at a certain speed quicker but you will never go faster (top speed) with 4.11's than you will with 3.23's. If you didn't get it i was bull****ting about the 5.14's.

husun said:no, wrong again, you have plenty of "gear" left, just not enough power to get you to the gears max.
Also if your into road racing on a circle track or endurance type races 180mph is easily attainable. So please stfu and die.
yes and no to whether changing gears results in a higher top speed, theoretical or real.Jackie Chan said:yes to what and no to what?
RacerGT said:So, you're saying that I can get to 180mph with my 4.10s? AHAHAHAHAHHA... no.
