    I've heard some disagreement as to which gear is the best for dyno testing an F40. Some say 3rd, some say 4th. What do you say?

    Which ever is closest to 1:1 ratio. Sorry I don't have the ratios...

    Turns out it was 4th. I generated 490 max HP at the rear wheels with max 422 ft/lbs of torque today!

    What's the drivetrain loss on a standard F40 tranny? Something on the order of 12%?
