Default Question for MN6 drivers

What gear are you in when going through the finish lights? I'm on the stock 3.42 ratio and back of the napkin calculation says I'm good for 108 mph before the rev limiter kicks in if I leave it in third. Does anyone have real world experience with the stock 3.42 ratio? Thanks.

You should always go through the traps in 4th. M6 or MN12. Both have 1:1 4th gears, so it makes no difference. The car should cross the traps in the 1:1 gear. From stock, to 7 second cars, all cross the traps in the 1:1 gear.

Aside for those wacky A6 C6's that don't have a 1:1 gear. Wacky GM engineers. LOL

A stock 3.42 geared MN6 with stock height tires and stock LS1 rev limiter is good for 78 mph in second gear and 105 mph in third gear.
