Magazines are notorious for bad info. I’m in the IT business and remember when I was younger reading computer mags and thinking, WTH is this guy talking about. I remember reading the bios of the editors and some only had 4 years in the industry. Seriously, you want me to take advice from someone with only 4 years in the industry. The same goes for most mags. Someone already pointed out a discrepancy in their specs for the 2016 car. Also, I have never heard someone “speculate” that a car that has a drag limited top speed in top gear would be even slower with a higher final drive. This is car 101 kind of stuff.

But is top speed of our cars really drag limited? IIRC it was speed limited by ecu (don't remember though, if by wheels speed sensor or by specific rpms at 6th gear).

2017 diff swap
Magazine editors are writers first. Car guys second. Mechanics.. not at all. Engineers... not at all. They have liberal arts degrees, not engineering degrees.
The only mag worth reading is Grassroots Motorsports. |

The magazine data is garbage, and really misses the point. The simple fact is a BRZ will pull 6th gear to its top speed, which could be 135 or 145 depending on who you ask and what day they did it, but that's irrelevant. What matters for the top speed discussion is that 6th gear redlines at ~165mph with 4.30 gears, and current top speed is absolutely lower than that. So, higher numerical rear gear = more horsepower to the tire at drag limiting conditions because of new higher rpm = more top speed (until the gearing puts you past the horsepower peak or hits redline).
