Yes I do but then I'm not talking about spreading all of the gears just the sixth gear and presuming that your top speed desired was already obtained through 1-5 it would help maintain the speed if not allowing a slight increase and lowering the RPM's along with slightly improving MPG. As with an overdrive gear. I like the bottom gear ratio's and agree that the acceleration is good and needed for the purpose the car was built for.
