On street how often are you trying to reach high speeds, by improving your driving/shifting skills you get better gains, then just a final drive.
Correct me if i am wrong. The aim of drag racing is to get from point A to Point B in as fast time as possible. So would this not be the same as trying to get from 0 to 80km/h in as fast a time as possible?

Only difference being one is measured in KM and another in KM/h.

I agree with aaron with he concept of the shorter causing the extra shift. Alot of people are going to flame me about this question. But a formula one car has short ratios right? and they are significantly quicker off the line that a V8 super car right?
