Leaving with my gf from her house, about to go see a movie. I'm at the light behind a few cars in the left turn lane and a 300ZX pulls next to me. I didn't think anything of it. Light turns green, we turn left. I hear the 300 and that thing is loud. As we're going down the road, I can see this car in the corner of my eye staying up with me. We get on the freeway and he's still next to me. I look at him, point my finger forward, and we go. Get up to 5th gear and going about 95. I'm already 2 car lengths in front of him thinking that I've already won. He didn't think so. He tries to do a fly-by and I stomp it again. I hit fuel cut once but keep going. Needless to say I won AT LEAST once. After we get off the freeway, we're at the light again, he rolls down the window, i roll down mine. He says "nice car". Then I rev mine to about 6K to let him hear the turbo spool and let off to hear my unusually loud stock recirculation valve. Then we go on our merry ways.

if you have to use 5th gear because you arent sure the race is over, somethings wrong...
i cant remember, but i think i might still be in 3rd moving at 95

)I was 2 car lengths in front of him when I decided to shift to 5th. Not completely sure why now that I look back at it. My 3rd gear maxes out about 90 and 4th at about 110. I was fun nonetheless.
hmm. your profile says 7mGTE with W58 swap. was your car an NA > Turbo swap? if so, then that would mean you have the NA 4.3 diff, which would account for your gearing as you described it
My gearing is a stock turbo's setup. I was mistaken about the W58 (sorry, ignorance). 3rd maxes out at 90 and 4th at 110.
