It's pretty easy to check the gear ratio in the rear end by counting how many revolutions the driveshaft makes for each revolution of a wheel.
Also, the speedometers aren't exactly dead on at that speed, I know mine is actually a few MPH off when checked against a GPS at hwy speeds

It's ok though, soon enough I'll have another car so I can retire my Z from being my primary vehicle.

no the reason i am wondering is yours is turning 3k rpm at 80mph i am assuming in 5th
mine in fifth runs 3k rpm at about 70mph, wheels n tires n stuff seem all the same as oem. i guess i'll have to check the ring gear when i drop it some day for new bushings....they are ok now but 30 years old and i know they havent been replaced any time in the past 2 decades atleast so any time new and i am sure

Any one of us could have an inaccurate speedometer and not know it! 
Picture looks like 3450rpm at 82mph
4.11 diff suggests 3419rpm at 82mph based on that website linked above

Looking good. Did you get a chance to hike down to the bottom?
It crashes FireFox for me if I try to open the link, it works fine in IE though.

[QUOTE=007max;267618]Looking good. Did you get a chance to hike down to the bottom?
We only hiked about 1.5 mile down and then the ranger stopped us and told us that we do not have enough water and salt snacks etc... to hike down more. She did not stop us but recommended we don't. On our way back up we realize she was absolutely correct. It looks easy but on the way up its really tiring. It was the best hike I ever did...hope to go all they way to the bottom during the next visit...
