Performance Gearing
Here's and example: Let us choose a very non-aerodynamic BMW, an `88 535. If you did the math, this BMW should in theory go 175mph with its 3.25 rear end gearing. In reality an `88 535 will top out at about 130mph even though the motor hasn't hit its rev limiter at redline. Why? The `88 535 doesn't have the horsepower nor the aerodynamics to overcome wind resistance to propel itself to that speed. However, if we reduce the gearing load by installing a 3.91 rear axle ratio, this same car will do about 145mph.
