I think we should add to your list, what tyres used, road/track surface and last of all the largest variable "The Driver" (Just like these musicians I deal with who claim they were'nt playing loud and their speaker voice coils are fried) a driver normally won't own up to being brutal with the gearshift.So a survey like this is most likely doomed from the start.I will just keep on telling you guys how good mine is unless it breaks, and surely none of you will deny, racing with standing starts is the hardest test on a gearboxes strength, so pontificate as much as you like but please get real with the test criteria.By the way Rambo Lambo I can assure you the ZF weight of 60-70kg is not in the alloy casting so don't worry about the capability of the gears or the crown wheel, that's Ford 9" type size and we all know the strength of that. Actually I reckon Ford were worried like Dan Gurney that AJ Foyt would break the car and as I remember it Dan tricked him into using less revs.Of course this was at the time the Collotti disaster was happening too so the ZF may not have been proven.
