Yeah, it is amazing how reliable the old muscle cars are even when driven hard.Originally Posted by Blitz_
I wouldn't try to fool anyone- if I bought something like a '69 440 Charger R/T, it would of course be using its ample power every time I drove it. Accelerating through the gears, burning rubber, etc. And I would bet the engine would still be running (without being rebuilt) 10 years in the future.

ok, you cant really bash an original muscle car about fuel comsumption. technology wasnt that great back then, i mean, sure there were things with better mileage, but it wasnt anywhere NEAR as varied as it is today (prius vs. enzo)

And an Enzo probably gets better fuel economy than any muscle car too.Originally Posted by CdocZ

yeah, 40 years into the future however, and probably not by much.

An extra 2 gears will do that. What's the final gear ratio in the Enzo? Low 3.xx? Opposed to the 3.94 and 4.11's you'd commonly find in a late 60s Chevelle or Cuda. There's lots of ways to look at it.Originally Posted by crisis

yeah.....you can also remember that these cars are almost 40 years old now, and were meant to be cheaper in the first place, not to be the most advanced things around. 40 years of technology is a LOT of change!

Probably pretty similar, low 3's are cruising gears, why would an Enzo focus on cruisingOriginally Posted by Quiggs

The Enzo's 6th gear is .76:1. To get to its claimed top speed of 217, it'd need a decently low final drive. As well as to make the car drivable in everyday situations. I haven't found the exact number yet, but I'd bet it's in the 3.3-3.4 range. Way less than 3.94.

3.4-3.6 would be my guess, the engine does rev pretty good remember.
