My buddy just bought an 88 GT (pictured below). It's got the whole HCI thing done. I drove it back most of the way (200 miles). It didn't take me long to realize that 1st gear was USELESS.
Me ->
Then I get on the highway and I'm in 5th gear at 70 mph turning a little over 3,000 RPM.
Me ->
I could floor the car in 5th and scare myself to death. So when we got back I used an online calculator and found that for an 88 GT, at 70 mph and 3100 rpm it would have to have a 4.90 gear ratio
Another one for the WTF file until he gets the gears out and counts the teeth. I bet that transmission isn't stock...
Thoughts? Questions? Quips?
