I'm actually kind of surprised he hasn't told us about how perfect his car is and will run 12s and get 20 MPG with a 2.76 rear gear and a t-quad, and that the rest of us are all doing something wrong because we can't duplicate what he's doing.
I am "WRONG" ? .... for calling a gear-ratio that is low numerically a "short gear" ? No ...I will not admit that I am "wrong". But I am BIG ENOUGH to admit I uNderstand the reasoning behind the opposite point-of-view or opinion. But then others here can not offer me the same consideration...
You allege that I have never admitted when I was wrong? ... there have been several instances over-the-years where I have mis-spoke or didn't have my facts right OR had all my ducks in-a-row ...and have admitted same.
And as far as my car ? ... so I like an odd-ball combos. WHO else here specifically sets-out to put-together a SHORT GEAR combo that runs half-way decent. And as far as someone DUPLICATING these efforts? ... I would hope that if anyone here tried ... that they could do-it with no-effort. The motor that was in the car then was a blow-by special.
And Tom ...I never claimed 20 mpg. I said that I would like to eventually put-together a combo that would run 11.99 and get 20 mpg.
