The good news is 1st gear will now run through 60 mph, which should help a lot with the 0-60 time.
Interesting, with 1st gear that long is it going to turn into a Corvette setup where at 70mph it is cruising at 800RPMs and basically you can do a 1/4 mile in 2 gears?

Probably 3 gears. In regular street driving with my lowly 400whp 5.0 I can go from 1st gear straight to 5th gear if I wanted to and keep up with the flow of accelerating traffic no problem. The GT500 will have gobs more torque.
