Short-geared
- Great Acceleration
- Low Top-End Speed
- Eats tires though if you aren't careful of throttle control

Long-geared
- Meh acceleration
- Higher Top-End (takes longer to get there)
- More time between shifts

 

like the guy above say.

But me i like anything under 300 hp to be short
and anything over 300 hp long. It's just me.

 

b16 tranny, trust me

 

anyone else?

 

for na i would use xsi b16 tranny short geared and fun but if your going turbo i would do ls with LSD!

 

thats it? anyone else?
