1st: 3.79 / 39 mph
2nd: 2.28 / 66 mph
3rd: 1.52 / 98 mph
4th: 1.19 / 134 mph
5th: 1.00 / 150 mph
6th: 0.79 / 189 mph
(R: 3.47)
FD: 3.73

yeah but the speedo will only go to 160 in the FR-S meaning that the gearing is shorter which is fine... how often do you go 160?......Even in my Supra I think I have hit that once or twice ( I hit 175 once) at an oval track and to be honest it was scary as hell even though the car felt solid having fun at that speed is all in a stright line-ish, fun is traking a car and seeing what you can do with it at lower speeds
again power is fun but what is the breaking point of top speed when you never get there, and all the fun is between 0-80ish....
