Theoretical race question...
Theoretical
Two L98 Iroc's, 100% identical (Hp, Trq, Weight...etc). Only difference is one has a 2.77 rear, and the other has a 3.27.
They race from a 60-70 mph roll, who takes it?

The 2.77 car will win due to the fact that it will definitely be in 2nd gear at 60mph. The 3.27 car will be at the beginning of 3rd, a huge disadvantage.

really?
my car gets up ok from 60-70mph with the 2.77's but its not in second very long during that time. same applies with the 3.27's i would think. it might be in second for a short period of time but after 70-80mph and the shift into 3rd, i would say the 3.27 would start to walk away slowly.
either way it will be a darn close race.
