    120 in first gear? Is this sort of thing possible? I've never heard of a manual going so fast in first gear. This guy swears he owned it and used to cruise around in second gear most of the time.

    And I used to go 10 pin bowling >>>

    with a tosser who was adamant he would take the last 180&deg; bend onto Calder's main straight at 180 kmh in his 9 second Falcon Ute.Funny thing is that whenever I said I'll meet you at the track/strip, he never showed up :N(.

    you mean vertical speed off a cliff, yes??

    Narh, i read in some magazine that a guy could do that. I have the mag somewhere upstairs but i can't be bothered finding it.100k's in first doesn't sound very healthy unless you happen to drive a V12 or McLaren F1

    That's a fair bit, but not entirely

    unbelievable. Looking at the Holden parts bin, if I wanted to build a Commy that would do 120 kph in 1st, then I would head for the M21 gearbox which has a 2.54:1 first gear ratio, then sling a 2.6:1 diff ratio in it. After that, it's only engine revs and tyre diameter to play with. Assuming 215/65/15 tyres and a redline of 6,500 rpm, I think that falls out at about 120 kph.Did I win any money??:D ;)

    Yep, I'm with Dangerous....

    It's doable but there's not much point unless your racing on a track with very long straights.

    I reckon the zed needs a 1st..

    ..gear like that, the one they have standard is just way to short
