Actually, for years now , GM has offered an over-the-counter gear set for the vettes, a close ratio gear set similar to that, for serious road racers.
From a previous thread (12/04):
I did a search on the LeMans racing vipers/vettes, and couldn't find any specs on the tranny gears, but I did find that GM offers a road race T56 for the vette, only an over the counter $8000 option, for scca racing. The gear spread was 2.29/1.61/1.22/1.0/0.85/0.75 , which is a lot closer than what the T56 is offered in the street camaro's, vipers, vettes. To me, this is a true close ratio 6 speed, and is probably close to optimal gear spacing for a V8 powered mid sized race car.
Isn't it interesting that the gears are the same as what transzilla offers now? Actually they have been offering those gears for awhile now I think.
