| That is interesting Chris.
I've never seen a GT40 being dragged. Are you saying that first gear is too tall and they are slow off the line, ie bog down without getting wheelspin? Once you're rolling wit tall ratios you should be able to hold 1st, 2nd and 3rd to higher speeds which can't be all bad. Depends I suppose if the last gear you use is revving right out. Must vary from car to car and trans to trans, surely?
Maybe, should start another thread on drag racing a GT40?
Cheers
