Keep practicing

Interesting, what is the rpm at the traps with stock tires?

Does anyone make a rear gear set for these cars? I also wonder how the Redline would run with the NA rear gear set (3.9X versus the stock 3.7X)?

Bogie, do you want to calculate what the engine RPM is in 4th gear at 100mph?
