Terrible comparison.

To put it in perspective, 2nd gear on a C6Z is roughly equivalent to 4th gear on my Supra.
Lol, YOU brought up the C6 for comparison... but now it’s a terrible comparison...

And yes based on gear ratios, tire size etc, 2nd on a C6 is very equivalent to 4th. Actually 2nd is still slightly more aggressive.

He said he can’t even hook 5th right now. If they can dead hook 2nd on 600whp C6 then he can hook 4th. So i just gave him two gears that gives him traction at 80mph+ which sounds like a huge improvement from what he’s at right now without needing to turn her down.

Unless you have a better tire recommendation for the street that won’t kill you in the rain?
