Message	But in real world terms, things are different. In your other post you assumed a stageIII Z could do about 170mph. That was more so due to wind resistance, not mechanical, in your guess correct? Based off of that, then the mechanical limit of the Z w/ leader gears wouldnt be around 150mph. It is still capable of higher speeds, and the "wind" restrictions wouldn't come in till around that same 170mph. As Zlover pointed out, in those same conditions the Z w/ the leader gears could actually go faster. But this is just speculation off the assumption that the rpm range it would be in, would be enough to over come the wind resistance. Either way your doing more than 150mph ;)
Follow Ups	Just installed the 4.10 Leader Gears - citation 17:54:11 10/14/05 sounds great. slightly off topic but has anyone calculated - robo (sebring1970) 18:22:40 10/14/05 it's close to that of the non-turbo - ZLover4Life 18:24:00 10/14/05 assuming 26" tires.... (I'm not sure the stock tire size) - ZLover4Life 18:29:51 10/14/05 so in "real world numbers," you know, with wind resistance - robo (sebring1970) 18:47:19 10/14/05 yes, I entirely disagree - ZLover4Life 19:05:13 10/14/05 thanks for the feedback. that's counter intuitive for - robo (sebring1970) 19:18:13 10/14/05 it will affect the top end if your top end is limited by rpm - ZLover4Life 20:38:57 10/14/05 for example - ZLover4Life 20:53:42 10/14/05 thanks for that. I have to think about what you wrote - robo (sebring1970) 21:14:42 10/14/05 That's very well explained and very accurate. Mark - SirpriZ 22:51:36 10/14/05 yeah, he kinda like blew my mind, man (n/m) - robo (sebring1970) 23:41:01 10/14/05 Like you mentioned above, it seems counter intuitive - SirpriZ 00:27:42 10/15/05 thank you, that means a lot to me coming from you (n/m) - ZLover4Life 00:41:52 10/15/05 You're certainly welcome. Take care, Mark (n/m) - SirpriZ 01:05:13 10/15/05 The max mechanical top speed is reduced. - CrazyGreek 20:40:04 10/14/05 I'm assuming a "real world" top end on my car of about - robo (sebring1970) 20:55:35 10/14/05 Salt flats Yo' - CrazyGreek 21:04:34 10/14/05 I've never been to the Salt Flats, although I would love to - robo (sebring1970) 22:03:41 10/14/05 Re: I've never been to the Salt Flats, although I would love - Guapo 22:08:51 10/14/05 that is too cool (n/m) - robo (sebring1970) 23:28:17 10/14/05 Zcon 07 @ the slat flats!!! That would be fun to try. - CrazyGreek 22:20:34 10/14/05 Yes, check out this site, it's great for that - citation 18:24:44 10/14/05 thanks for posting that - ZLover4Life 18:33:30 10/14/05 I didn't think those things would work. Nice runs Randy! - SirpriZ 22:49:37 10/14/05 Cool! I extrapolated to a 10.9 @ 129 mph. (n/m) - Arnel@Z32racing.com 08:26:48 10/15/05 I'll let you know after the 22nd. - citation 20:47:25 10/15/05
