Hmmm... I just re-watched the video of my leaving the line at WoS 2021 and realized that from the two black tire marks on the salt, I have a limited slip differential in my Porsche G50/01 transaxle. I thought I might have one but I forgot all about that until now. Duhhh....

Neil --

What's the rear end ratio?  Sure you didn't swap the change gears?  Looks like it's pretty low geared.

(I guess I'm thinking like El Mirage where you have to attack every foot you get before the lights.)

Stan, here are my Porsche G50/01 transaxle gear ratios:

1st gear 3.500
2nd gear 2.059
3rd gear 1.409
4th gear 1.13
5th gear 0.89
Final drive 3.44

Since I had rebuilt my engine and had not run it much before this, I just entered it in the "150 Club". To keep it below 160 and disqualification, I was taking it very easy. I got a timing slip for 157.458 mph so I thought I'd better quit before I "broke out". It is geared for 209 @ 7200 RPM.

Now I see why that 1st gear was so short!

Thanx!
