Silverstreak, That engine really pulls in all gears, doesn't it? In my 496 with TWM 4th gear is awesome. I was getting into it on a 4 lane connector in CT. 4th gear at 100mph is 4600 rpm, peak torque, 680 ft lbs. I have 335/35/17s Pilot Sports on the rear, 13" of tire. At 100mph it felt a little greasy, it was breaking the tires loose! That was a scary/good feeling. Nothing beats big inches!
