Yep, that is all true Gary, but they are too much for the car. If you reved it up and dumped the clutch on your car, just the way it sits now, with a ZF, what do you think would happen?? Yep, clutch would explode and the car wouldn't move an inch. Even if you put a big beefy clutch in, your tranny would be the next thing to explode cause the gears are trying to accelerate too fast. So you have to gear everything down so it isn't trying to go from zero to light speed in zero seconds. That is why you need bigger gears.
