Is this car worth it? 99 SS?

Hey992 RS where is the pic of that camaro taken at? Which Track?

410s decrease top speed right? is there a way to increase top speed by putting higher rear gears in on a stock camaro or are the gears on the camaro the minimum? gran turismo has camaros? i thought it was rice cars?

rearend gearing does dramatic changes to your top speed. i used to have a 2.73 on my camaro (it's pictured w/ that rearend) now i have a 3.42 posi and it will accelerate off the line dramatically faster. the drawback tho, i took down my top speed from about 140, to about 100. my top speed is incredibly low right now. like i said, dramatic changes, if you want to increase top end then you give the rear a shallower gear, if you want better acceleration, deeper rear end helps alot.

then how do drag cars go over 200mph with 410s? high rpms? the way i see it w/ 410s if its in a 1:1 gear the engine would have to spin 4 times faster than the wheels. wouldnt the car be faster with higher gears if it has enough torque to compensate for the loss in acceleration?

I guess if that same car had 2.73s it would have over 25% less acceleration while the top speed would increase by the same factor.
