     though. True, being able to hit 60 MPH in 2nd gear is an advantage in
     optimizing 0-60 specs, but, in the "real world", where one does not
     usually stop accelerating at 60 MPH, :), the lower overall gearing would
     be a definite plus to faster acceleration. Specifying the gearing to
     eliminate the 2-3 upshift to minimize 0-60 times is engineering for
     specmanship, a lot like designing your computer or LAN-switch to look

I think it was the Countach that could hit 62mph in first gear . . .
