Message loves them, but if you notice everyone who has posted how they love them here is fairly well known here for being pardon the expression track-whores lol (I say that with true envy I might add)

All I wanted the guy to realize was that if he had never owned an NA, that 80 mph is at 4k rpm IIRC as opposed to 3300 on TT gearing, and other speeds that you find yourself hovering around on city streets seem to fall right where you want to shift to another gear but arent quite there yet.

Bugged the shit out of me (as seedyrom pointed out) driving in a strictly enforced 25 mph zone in my NA because i either was barely above bogging 3rd, or was just so slightly below normal upshift point in 2nd. So yes it isnt anything NA owners havent been putting up with, and so as an NA owner turned TT owner I say for my non-track-hoepurposes I prefer the TT gearing.

I can only imagine how that gearing must be with the TT powercurve when you want to romp it, but to me the upgrade makes about as much sense as springing for Michelin Sport Cups over the Eagle F1s, sure the increase in performance is undeniable, but is the ? is whether or not the alternative offers sufficient performance for what is demanded of the car. And at what $ amount does someone draw the line? (seems to be a concern for alex too)
