TH400 is a three speed transmission. Listen to the video and you'll see what I am getting at.
My friend has a Olds 472 with a TH400 and a Ford 9" with 3:90's. Tops out at about 130-140 mph at 6,000 rpm.

And yes, that is Jorday's ZR1. And yes, he can drive, lol.
be safe man and taking the Gellardo's engine to the limit is crazy.

Proof? He doesn't need proof. I know this car very well and it is exactly what Demon said it was. A 360 ci, NA, 9K+ RPM motor with an Auto trans and it is NASTY. I have raced this car over and over again and believe me, it is fast as ****.
That was my Gallardo racing the ZR1 in the video. We will both re run the ZR1 once he gets his mods done. Might be late in the season before he gets them on though.

I'll watch the vids when I get home.
27 mpg from Atlanta to Detroit, and that includes some very spirited driving. I'd estimate I could've gotten 28 or 29 had I set the cruise at 65 and never deviated from it. But what fun would that have been? I'll do another gas mileage test when I drive up north to Grayling this fall. I'll take my time and see if the 402 can come close to 30 mpg. Just posting this to say good gas mileage can be had, even in bigger cubed motors.....

I raced the ZR1 once, and ONLY once. This was the outcome...

It was my buddy in the IROC (the topic starter) that raced the ZR1 twice.
