Took forever to reach the claimed top speed. Koenigsegg and Bugatti can do it on a test track. So could the GNX. Tall gears are mostly worthless.

My daily has really tall gears. Shift out of first at 40. I can’t get it out of second gear without committing a felony. Is an absolute slug from 0 to 15.

It’s not that bad. You can always set the tachometer halfway to boil and drop the clutch. That’s how the car was designed to be driven. That melts right through tires and clutches though.
