In Reply To	would 6th gear not lower the rpm's at 70mph, posted by BoostLesZ on August 25, 2004 at 05:45 PM
Message	On our car it would just be bogging. Besides, the original poster sounded like he wanted it for performance reasons, not fuel economy reasons. That usually calls for 5 close ratio gears and 1 overdrive, not 4 drive gears and 2 overdrives like Corvettes have.
