Would it make sense to put a lower geared axle into an LT4 vette with a 6 speed manual?
It already has a 3.45 stock. I imagine moving to the typical 3.73 wouldn't be worth it. But 4.11 seems like a good spot. It would put the freeway revs in good places... and still has good gas mileage, etc with the super low 0.5 6th gear.
But would there be much useful difference there? It's nearly 20% lower geared... therefore, 20% more acceleration through first gear. But I wonder if the tires could actually hold it. Would the car really have a quicker 0-60 time? Quarter mile?
