hi,

in europe the magazines (and we) clocked from 0 to 62 mph, 0 to 100 mph and 0 to 124 mph (that equals 100 kph, 160 kph and 200 kph).

therefore I geared my car to give me 62 (plus) in 1st gear (2.20:1), 100 in 2nd (1.64:1) and 124 in 3rd (1.34:1) - or something! that resulted in a Muncie M-22 or T-10 CR trans with 275-60-15 tires at 6600 RPM (3.31:1 rear).

for the US I would use a WR trans (4-speed) that you can go quick from the traffic light and cruise easy at 65 mph.

If you are racing check for the maximum speed you can achieve at the longest straight. (probably not more than 140 mph)
