wouldn't that take about 20 gear changes? I wonder how long it takes to change the gearbox in a 30 year old Freightliner. They are owned by Mercedes Benz...
You can skip gears. Probably start at about 6, 8, 10, splitter, 12, and so on. With the older trucks, it's just a few minutes with a screwdriver away from an extra 2000 rpm rev limit, and twice the boost of a stock truck. They can fly.
