This is in reference to my Spit 3.5 project. I've done some checking in my
TR8 manual and the OD is actually .833, not .78.
Now how fast am I going with the 3.7?
How tough is it to find a 3.45?
With the 3.45, I can squeak 60 mph out of second gear. Starting in second
and getting to 60 without a shift would have to take very little time. The
car could also be reduced down to 1300 lbs.
