<VV> DIFFERENTIAL RATIO COMMENTS

[Dennis Pleau]

Ballistics of a brick was not original, but stolen from an awards
presentation from Clay Westphal(sp) when he was giving out Econorun awards
at a CORSA convention a few years ago.

I've heard a lot of recommendations years on the VVs to install a 3.27:1
with a four speed and then use third gear as "drive" and forth gear as
"overdrive", which is not technically true.  

I can't imagine that a PG which doesn't have as low of a low gear as we
would wish even with a 3.55:1 and then shifts to "overdrive" would be a good
choice in a FC with the ballistics of a brick and the capability of carrying
3/4 of a ton.
