First of all, car analogies are hard to apply here.
Second, the the bold makes me want to slap you. Overall performance can DEFINITELY be changed by gear ratios. WTF is the matter with you? Now, overall POWER that can be delivered by the engine wont, but you know, its kind of important how and when you get that power to the ground. Gears can give you great quarter mile times, or great times for track racing where you need top end. Some cars with proper gears cannot physically go past 120s MPH (Yet will light up a 1/4 mile), yet with different gear ratios that engine would do 180+ on the track but have a much worse quarter mile time... and everything in between. GAH! |
Poor wording I admit. The point was you can shift around power bands, but that's not going to suddenly make your engine's performance metrics improve.
