Not always a good thing though. You can lose a sec in the 1/4 just spinning tires to get off the line. Gears are no good if you don't have traction. Higher gear ratio with traction....I have a Hemi ram, and can launch pretty good. Leave a Z or a mustang sitting at the light, but what mph are you passing at. That is going to matter in the long run. Pursuit? I am not sure I am familiar with that. I take it it is not a stock motor or anything. That seems pretty obvious. The SRT-10 is passing at almost 110 stock. STOCK!!!! I get tired of people acting like that is not a big deal because they have a SC V8 of some sort with a cam, ignition, exhaust, CAI, Roller rockers, and a PCM flash or chip. It is sort of comical.

A good point with the traction comment.
Here is my Pursuit Ute.
Bone stock, naturally aspirated & 109.30 MPH... But all of you have probably had enough of me gloating with what we get down under...

So what's the shifter layout on a RHD vehicle? Is it still 1st and 2nd are closest to you?
I'll bet the SRT has much more tire to turn though (probably 5 inches taller or so), to make up for some of the gear advantage.

Darn, I had all the tire circumferences calculated for you, and posted for you, but due to the server failure it has gone into cyber space.
Anyhow, from memory the end result was that the SRT-10 with its rear gears provides 7% more tractive effort.
Oh, and the gear layout is the same as US cars, i.e. - the reverse for the driver. so 1st and 2nd are furtherest away.

All you need to do is to look at all the 99+ Lightnings, 03-04 Cobras, and 93-98 Supras that put down insane dyno numbers with just bolt ons without sacrificing driveability.
