Quick question if you dont mind, Final drive ratios. I have the chance for a good deal on a rebuilt / carbon plated BMW e92 diff. Also they will include the cost of the fabrication of the rear end as they want to use it for a kit. (i have had a few cars built by him) The final gear ratio is 3.15 and I'm 75% sure thats as low as it can go, BWM do a 2.81 but i dont think its compatible.
I've been looking at this tread

Will my 1st gear be useless, i will be under 1400KG and running r18/35 wheels.
Do you know where this calculator resides all the online ones only go up to 6 gears ...

The ZL1 without a sunroof is approximately 3880 pounds with the M6. The a10/auto adds another 120 ponds. The issue here is what happens when you turn the wheel 15 degrees and push about 55% throttle.
The camaro zl1, zl1 1le and corvette z06 have suspensions tuned for proper weight distribution during high speed turns and acceleration under load.
Your car is beautiful, however, I have reservations about how the weight will transfer to the rear of the car during pulls and turns. 1st will be manageable...just as long as the supercharger does not kick on. Pushing into second and beyond will make your small car difficult to keep in a straight line.
Plus whatever diff you run must be sound because the LT4's torque "aint no joke"! ESPECIALLY in 4th gear!!
