They are very tall indeed, but most of them are really close (except 1-2 and 2-3, damn those are apart). 6th gear is very tall on its own and a big drop from 5th, so long that the car cant pull it (maxing top speed aerodynamically rather than gear limited). A final drive swap makes it much better, at least for NA applications. For example, the car can completely pull all the way redline on 6th gear with a 4.88 or bigger FD, while tops out almost at redline with a 4.44 FD (will of course depend on elevation changes and wind direction and velocity).
