I understand the car has limited HP and TQ and as you go higher into the gears the torque multiplication will fall off from a seat of the pants stand point. But the final drive will absolutely have an affect on each and every gear.

If I decide to set the car up for STX class autocross comp, I'm going with a 16" wheel option and at least 3/4" less tire height for the gearing advantage. Yes, that little bit of height will absolutely make a difference in the acceleration.
