Q about gear ratios and speed in gears
Note: I do not own a 350Z- my brother does.
And he accidentally downshifted to 2nd instead of fourth at about 60 MPH on the highway. Ooops.
Now, in my car (C5), that would not be a problem. Sounds like second gear is a little shorter in the 350Z, so he pretty much wrapped the tach around the peg.
So my question: what is the top speed obtainable at redline for each gear?
