Default 170+ MPH pass at Shift-sector yesterday: Short Vid!!

I made 8 passes at Shift-Sector yesterday, seemed like traction was not the best, but the car ran GREAT all day, best pass was 170.8 MPH.

Here's a short video I just put together...

I stayed in it just a bit past the half, almost kissed 180 in 5th, and could have gone a bit higher before I shifted to sixth. I used to run 373 gears, but dropped to 342s the last time I rebuilt the Quaif diff...

I do run a lower fifth and sixth G-force gear, they both pull quite nicely!!

awesome! the stock 5th gear in these cars is such a buzz kill at the 800-900hp level at the 1/2 mile, I've been looking at gearing options.

really impressive how hard your car still pulls in 5th gear!

Sorry, missed this, we were posting at almost the same time. It was in the mid 80s, and some one said it was at least 3000+ DA...
