does anyone know what gear you would be in going 75 with a camaro ss m6?

 

Stock rear? 75 is in third, or the very top of second (at the fuel cutoff ) 5800 in 2nd is 70 mph according to some quick magazine racing (C&D 6/97)

 

With some quick math and assuming you are running tires of OEM height, and had the HP your car should hold third to ~170

 

....haha...i'm not sure if your joking or not..but i wish my car would do 170 MPH... ....but yea..everyone i've talked to with these gears says that at the top of 3rd around (5900)...is doin about 155-160..like i said..i've yet to try it..Nobody believes me when i tell them that i can almost hit 60 in 1st gear...haha sometimes i dont believe it, so i gotta go out and make sure she still can

 

Yeah if the torque converter in your car was 100% efficient (its not) and your car has a lot of hp (prob more than 400 at the wheels) then yes my math is right. No Joke.

well..obviously it depends on the gear ratio's..but, my 99 with 2.73's..goes like this
1-2-about 58MPH
2-3-about 95MPH
and i've yet to try it..but from what i've been told..it will hold 3rd gear all the way to 155 or so..


i think he is talking about kmh not mph.. adn to the guy talking about this.......................

is 4th time on how many MPH tranny gonna shift/change gear 1st-2nd , 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th com'n did anybody know this ,

i think he is trying to compare the shift points from z28 to gt stang. liek the auto z shifts from 1 to 2 at 38 and 2 to 3 at 67. and the stagn i have no clue but i think he is tryig to compare the 2. atleast that is what it sounds like to me. later

 

I'm not sure if you thought that i meant to say KMH, or the guy who was askin the question..Because he said MPH..and i mean MPH too..not KMH

 

No dude, he is right. Assuimg 26" tall tires (779 rev/mi) , 100% effiency at the torque converter, 2.73 gears, a 5800 rpm redline, the tranny shifts at redline, and the stock gears in the tranny then:

1st : 2.48 = 66mph
2nd: 1.48 = 110 mph
3rd 1.00 = 164 mph
4th 0.75 = 218 mph

Obviously the torque converter isnt 100% efficient, and the car does not have the hp to push it, but there isnt much loss in an AT (maybe 5%) so his numbers are very close to accurate. I think my 170 calculation from above came in at 6200 rpm... the fuel cutoff, since technically your car could do it, even if you didnt want it to
