It is the same with trying to compare a huff-n-puff Z06 Vette to the new
Viper. The gearing was change in-order to compete with the new Viper that
retains the 3.08:1 rear gears. The Vette when approaching 151MPH is out of
wind. Even the new Neon can push to 153MPH. LOL
Chevy are start becoming more like Jap cars with no torque and using gearing
to compensate for the lost torque and sacrifice the top end speed.
I have to laugh at such crap but there are at least two auto mags will
publish the gearing information and top-end speed for the consumer. Though,
we as normal city drivers would never see that speed (with the exception of
driving from SF to SD), it still resourceful for the educated auto
enthusiast.
It is the same with the latest Toy Tundra ads, go and read the fine print
and note the crap they seemed to publishing.
