How fast do they go, if i remember correctly when i was flying home from Korea (on a 747 obviously) they had the GPS on the screen showing where we were and how fast we were going (along with other info). If my memory serves my right, we were going around 600 mph, maybe 650mph the whole way (maybe i got my numbers messed up). We also had a 90mph tail wind, if that makes much difference.

brush up on your math junior.

my 4th gear wraps to 110mph, how far more will a .68 overdrive gear go beyond that?
110mph @ 6000 RPM in 4th (1:1 ratio) = (?)mph @ 6000 in 5th (.68:1 ratio)
since 6000rpm is on both sides of the = sign we can cancel them out.
110 x 1 = .68 x (mph)
anything multiplied by 1 is always it's self, so we can take that from the equation.
110 = .68 x (mph)
and to solve, get the variable alone by dividing .68 from both sides.
110 / .68 = 161.7mph
my tires are 225/50/16 slightly smaller than stock and the 6000rpm speed isn't dead nuts 110 could be between 109-111, in any case the math is correct.

You don't want any of the Caribinary man...they will haul your ass to Italian Jail and nobody wants to go the italian jail nobody
