The revs on an auto at 75mph are about 2300 where the revs on a 5 spd at 65mph are 2800 so... that shows the difference in the top gear. Also I would like to apologize for the lack of updating on this thread, I have been out of town for a couple weeks but I have cut out some coroplast chunks I'm going to cut down for the front wheel covers (17 and 1/2" discs to fasten over the rims) and I also got my hands on some ABS plastic that will make EXCELLENT skirts for the back. I bought a milwaukee cordless drill and hardware to mount the skirts now I just need the time to fit and mold them to shape. hopefully I can accomplish something this weekend.
