Well, back in the day:

I raced my '88 IROC-Z( bone stock) 305 TPI M/5 vs my buddies '87 IROC-Z 350 TPI A/4 ( another bone stocker)

The weather was in the low 90's . He nosed me out by running a 9.72 @ 72.5 mph
to my 9.78 @ 74.5 mph.

I figure the 5 speed let me spin a little more and resulted in a little higher mph. Close race and I still have that IROC-Z sitting in the garage today.
