I highly doubt you're in first gear at 40 or 60 mph, with 4.56 gearing.

What is Jared's max rpm before he shifts? - 5000rpm?
The white Lincoln is 7500rpm, so it need the gear to get it up on it's power band. It has 2500 rpms more than Jared to spin before the shift.

Think about it like this. A bike typically has a 14,000rpm red line. Now I don't know off the top of my head, but think about how short the gearing is on those to get them up on their powerband.

Now in saying all that, I shifted into 2nd (1-2 shift) at 3500rpm. (you can hear it in the video) Then I got WOT in 2nd, and shifted out at 5000rpm on the 2-3 shift (...on one race, 6800rpms on the other race)

That's right, he only posted the one vid. Here is the other:

You forgot to also post pictures and videos of your wife. I mean since she was in the race, she's also part of the equation.

Yeah, the "science" of street racing. All details figure into the hyposthesis.

She is in the military and is deployed over seas right now. She has been gone for a year, she should be home at the beginnig of March.

That's what happened. Hot wife = instant win.

How long have you two been married?

We got married right before she shipped out, though we've been together for 10 years.

That's great. I bet its unbearable being away from eachother that long

:th_soapbox2:

:th_yawning:

I give props to this man, he has successfully found our hideout. Then presented all evidence that was asked for. You my good sir deserve a star of approval!

very nice man, I hope you get to see her again soon.
