Yea, give me a hit, the tower's is where I tend to hang before going out on Friday.
Actually, you reminded me of the times when 5.0's with 3.08 rears could hardly hook...3.73's is steep gearing with a .68 5th just about matches the C5 .75 5th gear with 3.45 rear.
Hmmm-might have been an automatic also (which in 'vettes' are no slouch-they are even lighter than the 6-speeds and consistent out of the hole)!
They come standard with 2.73's and the option is 3.15, but they don't have the high speed gearing like the 6-spd...Good run either way...
