Just a question for owners with boosted manual cars.
The few that have been high speeds, does the car pull once into 6th?
I have a 640whp manual with 3.55 rear end 8k rpm. It hit the limiter at 182mph in 5th over a standing mile (wet) Didn't get to accelerate much in 1/2/3rd gears due to spin so only got on the power after 80mph.
I plan to do the event again next year when the weather is dry and i now know i will hit the limiter before the end of the mile and will have to go up to 6th.
Has anyone got experience of getting into 6th at those speeds? does the car continue to pull or am I best of looking at changing the gearing?
Thanks
