Agree a 3.73 would be a very nice gear.
I got greedy and wanted to optimize the gearing 3/4/5 for two local road courses.
At these tracks 5th at 140mph is all I need.
If the 4:10 at Buttonwillow or Chuckwalla is not the hot ticket I will be looking at other gears.
Regardless of the r/p ratio the spacing on the C5 Z06 6 speed gear stack is a compromise of performance and mpg.
r/p change is labor intensive on these Vette.
