2nd: 145 km/h
3rd: 205 km/h
4th: 260 km/h
5th: 295 km/h
6th: 365-370
To me this looks strange. The ratio between each gear decreases, but it looks like the 5th gear are awfully short, and that 6th are really long.
But then again, it's primarily geared for maximum velocity

well, the gear ratios almost definately dont look 959 ish... so im thinking that it may be another Ruf costom job...
you definately have a point that 5th gear looks stupidly short... it would, however make sence if the first 5 ratios were close for ideal track use, with a tall 6th for those amazing records.
thanks for the pic +info...
im going to look for the R+T article from this past summer with the 1 mile shootout... that may have some more info.
edit:
no new info; but if you missed the read; CTR specific
