 In my pre-driving teenage years, I had older friends who were hooked on installing steep rear gears in the late-1960s and early-to-mid-1970s used cars they owned and modified. They liked to blast from stoplight to stoplight, not to mention doing burnouts to show off for the rest of us whenever the opportunity presented itself.
Given their examples, you’d think that when I got my license and my car, I’d want to do the same, but instead, I became a proponent of more reasonable rear gearing that provided lower rpm on the highway. Part of it may be due to the fact that like most teenagers, my car was my daily driver, not a purpose-built hell-raiser that didn’t have to get me to work and school each weekday. Yet many of those friends had been in the same situation, so go figure.
You go low, I go high. We'll meet on the highway.
