I don't know what you mean by bigger gears. If he was on 2.73s or something, then the car will wake up with some 3.73s, keeps you in your powerband. He look like he was starting some race at 3k rpms.

I'm with you man the GTO was in the wrong gear for sure. Especially if its an M6 car. If its an auto well there isn't alot you can do from a roll except change the roll speed. Either way good runs.

Gears will make a big difference because you get into your powerband quicker and stay there longer. The only time it bugs me is i have to shift more often then the car im racing, since most of the time i race the other car doesnt have gears.

Yea looks like around or below the 3k mark, definitely not the right gear. 5.0's are stout for sure!

Damn, most races I have seen of GTO's with an intake, or intake and shifter have the GTO neck and neck, or even pulling, but now that I notice, I see most of those are 3.31 (or whatever the shorter gear is) Mustang's.
