    If your 1st gear + tall diff ratio gives the same speed at the same revs as his 2nd gear + short diff ratio, then the acceleration will be exactly the same on a rolling start. If you both start in 1st, from a standing start, he will out accelerate you. That's the simple answer. I don't want to go into the complex answer.

    It's fairly common that Aussie spec cars are slower and not as good.

    Ginger ale - a perfect partner for Jack Daniels. I overchilled it and had to deal with adiabatic decompression. Just finished my second one, which is usually my limit, but about to help No.1 son with his maths homework, so maybe a third...

    That is exactly right.

    Regardless, once you're moving there's almost nothing in it..... Again, on the road, not a ****ing drag strip.

    Shore.
    It's Gayry C/O Coongarri, via Greg's Spa, NSFW, 2355 right?

    Actually, I received my mats back from the detailer yesterday. Freshly shampooed and buffed.
    They're very bright. Aren't they glorious?! :)

    BTW, do any of you poofs know where I could source the little metal rings that hold them in place?
    As you can see, the driver's side ones have come off.

    Your experience only counts if the difference in diff ratios of the Boxer are similar to the difference in the 400/365 ratios.


    Silly signature here to annoy KIAI
