Like stretching out a rubber band. Basically if you take 2 identical Z's, one used for racing and the other used for driving to work at 45mph every day, the Z who's seen some track time will outperform the cruiser who's never hit 150mph.
I dunno if any of this is true or not, so feel free to chime in.

Lol idk if I would take that recommendation. I don't see myself hitting 155 anywhere, not at laguna seca (the only track I go to) let alone the streets with cops. Even if this is true, redlining it in 4th or 5th will do just the same as 6th as they run nearly just as lean as each other
