This kind of explains how I feel in sixth gear
 

Saw it on reddit. Pretty cool. One end is the concrete.

I dont get the concrete part.

So, it will be taking up lash in the geartrain for the next millenia before any torque is applied to the load?

I don't get it...

I can't see the video because I'm at work so I'll just say that I occasionally masturbate with my left hand

It's really not that bad on the MT. It's a 0.767 ratio in 6th gear, with a 4.10 final drive ratio. It won't smoke the tires if you floor it at 60mph in 6th gear, but it can certainly get out of its own way. In normal highway driving, I don't need to downshift to 5th until I'm going below 50-55mph. My old LGT had a very similar overall drive ratio in the highest gear (0.78 5th gear and a 4.11 final drive) but weighed 700 lbs more and had 35 less peak horsepower, now that car felt pretty lethargic trying to accelerate in top gear.
