Oh hey Deslock. Nice job on the calculations, I'll run some of mine here if you don't mind. Given the wheel RPM is known, 844 RPM @ 60MPH, I figure this car would need a 3.75 or so Final 5th gear ratio to pull 141MPH. That puts 6th gear around 0.78-0.80 if the 2500RPM at 60mph is true. Not exactly tall but it's not nearly as short as the MX-5/RX-8 gearbox.

Yes. It's been mentioned somewhere. I can't remember where though, sorry.
