Speed in each gear (6 speed)

[froggy47]

I can't seem to find that chart that had the LT4 max speed in each gear.

Anyone know where that is posted?

Thanks

Thanks 6 shooter, but not there?

I'm looking for something like 45mph@6300rpm(first), 75mph@6300rpm(2nd) etc.

I know I have seen it floating around somewhere, it's usually a standard spec you get from road tests like Road & Track.

Actually that's probably where I saw it, someone scanned a Grand Sport road test onto the net. Just can't find the link.

FWIW, this is from the ZR-1. Adjust it for the different axle ratio and redline, and you should be pretty close:

Gear Ratio Mph/1000 rpm Max speed

1 2.68 8.1 57mph (7000 rpm)
2 1.80 12.0 84mph (7000 rpm)
3 1.31 16.5 116mph (7000 rpm)
4 1.00 21.6 151mph (7000 rpm)
5 0.75 28.8 179mph (6200 rpm)
6 0.50 43.2 142mph (3300 rpm)


Edit: Apparently the LT1/4 had the same 3.45:1 axle ratio, so just adjust for redline. I.e. the redline of the LT4 is 6,300 rpm, so in 1st I'd expect it to go 51mph, 75mph in 2nd, and so on.
