[DeTomaso] ZF gear ratio

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

you would get the higher gear set 3.73 or even less and build an engine that
lives at high rpms and find a long piece of track,road.  Full roll cage and
safety equipment, concentrate on aero cause these suckers produce front end
lift like crazy, and make out a new will.
