Quote: I would rather have a close ratio box anyway. Hitting 60 in 2nd is a bad thing IMO when you only have 150bhp. The only thing it does is reduce the 0-60 time which is itself a meaningless measure.
TOTALLY agree. It's why the pub talk figures piss me off so much. The KA Sports gearbox was altered to improve the 0-60 time, but as admitted by the engineers who developed it, it lost a lot of driveability through 2nd 3rd and 4th as a knock on result. Shame really.
