"You end up short shifting it. Like two gears before you get through the intersection.
The 3.27 would be way more tolerable if it was an automatic".
His recommendation, not mine.
2.87 * 3.08 =8.8396
Right at 9-motor revolutions to 1-tire revolution.
I consider 10 to 1 better when performance is more important than drive-ability.

Thanks or the follow up. I see your friends point and now I'm questioning which 1st gear rato to go with now. I called the vendor and he specifically selected the 3.27 1st gear based on my current gear and tire size. So I think I need to have another conversation with him.
