Nick1234 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 I just drove a 2002 Buick Lesabre the other day with the 3800, and first gear went to 50 mph! Is that how the gears are in a new gran prix? I would hope not, cause the car had good power, but it would accelerate a lot quicker if it had shorter gear ratios. Nick Quote
Redfox340 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 I agree it has a wide gear ratio... But with a heavy car and that ratio, you still get good econ comparitively. My 'rents SS loves to sit in four gear @ 45mph; every time I drive, it's in 3rd! - Erik Quote
conley3.1 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 My parents truck'll do 50 in first gear too... Man, that thing is geared perfectly for powerslides. Quote
