No,it isn't. Take two ZR-1's,one with 3.45's and one w/4.10's,both same tire diameter. Shift both cars into high gear at 80mph. Both cars will drop the same rpm? No,they will not.
At any given speed or gear selected,the 4.10 rear will be spinning the engine faster. Why is that so hard to understand?
