camaro vs. vette(gear ratios) big question guys. what are the gear ratios on the camaro and the vette? i know we both have 3.42 gears, but the ratio in 4th and 5th is what im looking for. im asking cause when me and my friend race, we are pretty much dead even until top speed, right at 4th and 5th gear, when i start to pull. here are the mods of the cars...
99 ss m6 ---------- 00 frc m6
mods in sig ---------- halltech intake/corsa catback
352whp -----------320-325rwhp
3550lbs ----------- 3180lbs
u would think it would be the other way around, being when the aerodynamics kick in, the vette should start pulling, but he doesnt. i was wondering if the gearing is different in the 4th and 5th gears. thanx.

the t-56 in the non zo6 and f-body are the same (actually I think there was a 93 M12 in f-body's....but we're talking LS1s here).
Maybe at that speed your extra power begins to be more of a factor than your heavier weight. Also, the FRCs aren't as aerodynamic as the coupes. I don't know how it compares to a camaro though.
