Ken,
Word games? No word games, just physics.
We were talking about acceleration and NOT which gears would be "faster" on the 1/4 mile or from 0-60. I never said or implied anything about which setup would be "faster" under any particular conditions.
The shift points will of course be different but the acceleration at any given point in any comparable gear will always be greater for the lower (higher numeric) gears.
I, of course, did point out the "shifting sooner" issue and how that might affect the time it would take to reach a certain speed. However, once again, we were talking about acceleration and not time-to-speed.
You also wrote in the last post...
No, that's NOT the point I was making at all. I never said shorter gearing is always faster than taller gearing. That's your mis-interpretation of my words. Again, I (and you) were talking about acceleration.
Must you always be so rude and accusatory?
