rear ratio 1:4.08

How come the US pagode 280SL had this ratio ? I would say that distances are much longer there then in Europe where they used 1:3.69 together with another cam . So the US model produces more revs and more noise then the EUR model?

Another member from this group e-mailed me about this very issue.  He did some leg work and determined that the source was a different Pagoda113 web site/forum.
