Its 2nd gear is roughly as fast in mph as my 02Z in 3rd, but, the ZR1s torque maximum placement in 2nd is roughly the same as my 02Z in 2nd. My car with similar power on high boost breaks loose in 3rd because its torque maximizes, similar to its 2nd, in 3rd about 5mph after it is shifted from its rev'd out 2nd. In comparison to the ZR1's maximum torque in 2nd is way back in its first gear range. Forget using high boost in 1st and 2nd in my car as it is too touchy for me. I think my cars gears are great for a turbo, and a stock or simple mod. powered car with its short first gear like a turbo Porsche. I think I understand the torque occurring shortly after the shifts in my car now as it makes for more transparent and quicker shifts. The long fourth gear works out well for a turbo too. I don't think (maybe a centrifugal supercharger) I would want these gears in any other high power setup, and in the ZR1 with its constant, linear, and abundant, torque, no way. My gears are close to 4.10s in 1st-3rd with nothing in 4th. My ideal higher power gearing setup would have the std trans with a 3.70 rr which would give me a top'd 4th around 130 instead of ~142, which is ~100 to ~130 instead of ~96 to ~142 or so. Similarly to the ZR-1 though the 6th gear change would yield a ~2MPG highway penalty for my ideal gear setup. Also, the torque would be closer to max at shift points so that upward spike wouldn't be there, and 1st would still be low at ~50 (2nd ~78 instead of ~66).
Anyway, now I hold back my max. boost until 5mph after max in 3rd above 65deg. (torque flatter down instead of cresting up). Works like a charm!!!! On colder days I just use 4th right away as the torque easily does the same job.
Thanks, ZR1!

or be a retard. that **** made zero sense dude.
theer was another thread not to long ago EXACTLY like this one, i'm betting your the OP of that rediculas mess of a random thought too.

i have an 02Z06turbo and my 2nd gear camaro z28 is about as strong as when i was a kid and took my dads birthday party last weekend was ******* great. there were about 3 codes that were the result of the russin spy planes circeling the swamp where my great great grandfather lived.

i just realized that you even EDIT your posts after posting them. well you can bypass that step little fella. they STILL won't make any sense.

what the **** dpes that even mean dude? we are trying to figure out what you orinally were talking about. we get that there is a ZR1 and an 02Z06. and then there is some sort of a comparison between there gears, but thats about as far as i can stick my head up my *** to understand it...

All I have to say is WOW.

The worst part about the thread is that I saw the thread title and expected a link to a bad *** video of a new ZR1...or something along those lines.
