Except for 4th, which is direct drive & reverse-with adds another gear mesh, so the parity is odd.
Then the ring/pinion of the axle isn't close to 100%. There is a helix angle, and then the shaft axes are offset (hypoid)
So for a higher drivetrain efficiency you want to keep the number of gear meshes down.
Bad Bugatti Veyron! 4 gear meshes to get power to the rear axle.

If they could have sent power through the valley of the block, the could have two total for the rear, and three for the front.]]>Dec 8th 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 8th 2007 7:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/

I'm usually pretty skeptical about what comes out of Hennesshady, but nice work on the new exhaust if it's true.]]>Dec 8th 2007 7:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 9th 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 8th 2007 7:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 8th 2007 8:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/
Look at it this way, they set out primarily to sell add-ons here. Step one to selling add-ons to Viper owners: complement them on their car and how powerful it is. Even if you have to lie to do it.

Marketing and accuracy rarely collide.]]>Dec 8th 2007 8:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 8th 2007 11:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 8th 2007 8:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/Dec 8th 2007 8:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/08/2008-dodge-viper-srt10-hits-the-dyno/But only variable exhaust valve timing.
They will let the supercharged vette come out, then install variable intake valve timing.
