1983 Mitsubishi Sigma
3 speed auto (sigh)
I'm sure one of the aussie members will know the final drive for it?

So here are some quick specs. None of them had super-low gearing, though, like yours.

Motor Trend, Oct., 1971. (I assume they are 1972 models.)

------------------------ MGB-GT---------- MGB--------- MG Midget

Engine------------------ 109-cu-in/1798 cc 109/1798---- 78/1275
Horsepower/torque------- 92/110----------- 92/110------ 62/72
Curb weight------------- 2,360 lbs--------- 2,240 lbs---- 1,635 lbs
Axle ratio---------------- 3.91:1----------- 3.91:1------- 3.73:1
Transmission------------- 4-speed manual-- 4-speed man- 4-speed man
0-60 mph---------------- 12.8 secs-------- 13.1--------- 15.2
1/4 mile------------------ 19.0@72.7 mph-- 19.3@74----- 20.0@69.5
Braking, 60-0 mph-------- 133 feet--------- 134 feet----- 134 feet
Fuel mileage-------------- 25-28 mpg------ 25-28 mpg--- 25-30 mpg
Speed in gears @ rpm--
1st---------------------- 28.5@5500 rpm- 28.5@5500--- 29@5500
2nd---------------------- 45@5500------- 45@5500----- 49.5@5500
3rd---------------------- 70@5500------- 70@5500------ 69@5500
4th---------------------- 96.2@5500----- 96.2@5500---- 96.2@5500

it's amazing how much faster on the quarter mile the MGB was just by adding a solid roof! or did the GT have some other tricks?

There is really not that much of a difference between the first two cars listed.
3 tenths of one second and 1.3 mph. A slight difference, but not much.

No tricks involved; I doubt Motor Trend, which tested dozens upon dozens of cars per year would bother tricking up an MGB.

It's strange though, isn't it? Why would the heavier hardtop be faster than the convertible?

[clutch-monkey]

driver/conditions maybe. or the hardtop hadn't deteriorated as fast as the other two.

On the Fiesta it is 3.82, nothing special.

The 0.8 2-speed Automatic muscle car:
1st gear: 1.688
2nd gear: 0.927
Final drive ratio: 4.579

I have invested in a super-tight dog-shift gearbox for the Alfa for 2009 season, and has decided to build up a second rear axle with a different final ratio, since it is much quicker to change the whole axle, than just the ratio.
So now i have one with 4.57:1 and one with 4.11:1

The ratios on the gearbox is something like this:
Gear 1 2 3 4 5
Ratios: 2.060 1.530 1.230 1.050 0.950

The 4.57 will work perfect on the two slower tracks we have up here and the 4.11 will be perfect for the fastest track, and if I should want to drive on other tracks in Europe the later will probably serve well.

In the Saab, I have no clue.
