Message	It was even linked in the last thread on this topic a couple days ago. The easy way I remember it is the 5th gear difference is around 5mph at the low end of where you might use 5th (50-60), about 10mph towards the top of where you might realistically somewhat often use use 5th during highway driving (90-100), 15mph when you are well into jail time (~150) and about 20 mph at the very top end of 5th (~200). Basically the difference is roughly 10% your speed in 5th gear using the stock tt rear and calcing how much you'd lose. At least thats how I remember it, not that you care I'm sure. If you really care what I consider significant (as Spee apparently does) see below. m a g l i t o parts are FINALLY here - engine is going back together NOW sig photo by me effects by ZXRider(SoCal) click here for latest build update post
