As you know, in GT5 it isn't possible to change the final drive only. In the Muscle Cars era, it was common to customize it to suit one's own needs. In GT5 we can approximate this by fitting a fully customizable transmission. However, to set up stock gear settings most of the time, for some reasons that only PD are able to understand, things have to be done in a certin order:
In the transmission screen:
1) Reset to default
2) Set Final Gear all the way to the right (max value)
3) Set Max Speed to XXX (where XXX varies depending on the car)
4) Set up stock gears
5) Set up the final drive
My idea is to test stock muscle car performance with final drives that were common during that time or are today. To do this, I've decided a set of rules:
- Completely stock car
- Rebuilt engine (or dealership->oil change)
- Comfort Soft tires
- During the test, use only gears from 1st to 4th (setting a value of around 0.78~0.82 for the fifth gear when the fourth gear is 1:1 is ok)
- Test with the "Speed Test" feature on Special Stage Route X.
- Select "miles" as the unit of measure
I'll start with few examples:
Red = affected by the rev limiter
Speeds in miles/hour
List of typical final drives:
GM: 2.41, 2.56, 2.73, 3.08, 3.36, 3.43, 3.55, 3.70, 3.73, 3.89, 4.10, 4.56
Ford: 2.80, 3.00, 3.25, 3.50, 3.70, 3.89, 4.11, 4.56
Mopar: 2.44, 2.76, 2.93, 3.08, 3.23, 3.31, 3.54, 3.73, 3.91, 4.10, 4.56, 4.89
....
