Here are the facts:
Two Panteras
Both with 335/35/17 rear tire wheel combos.
1) One believed to have a stock geared ZF Turns 3,000 rpms at a GPS
measured 70 mph.
2) The other with a questionable/unknown final drive geared ZF turns 2,100
rpms at a GPS mrasured 70 mph.
A) does car #1 seem about "right" in relation to all other Panteras?
B) what replacement final drive R&P ratio would account for the 900 rpm
reduction in engine rpms.
C) If #2 does indeed have a replacement R&P ratio of X, what would the
theoretical top speed of Car #2 at 6,000 rpms.
