Not Ranked
Anthony,
I think you would be really unhappy with a 3:07 gear and a close ratio transmission. I think you would be able to go even over 70 mph in first gear. You would really have to slip the clutch to get it to move anywhere.
I really like the Tremec 600 and wide ratio transmissions in our cars. I do not like the close ratio transmissions at all in our cars. Of course, on the track, however, you would want to have a close ratio because you are not really starting from a stop so a longer first gear is not a problem. Starting from stop signs and stop lights would get to be pretty annoying with a close ratio and a 3:07 differential.
In the end, however, only you can decide what gears you like and are happy with for your particular style of driving.
