Default Has anyone else notice the FD in the new Si?

I was at Honda yesterday ordering some parts for my project (EG painted championship white, now the task of putting all back together). Well back to the point. I grabbed a 2002 Si brochure. I was thumbing thru it and notice the max HP is 160 @ 6500, TQ was like 130 @5000. But what really got me was the FD it was crazy high, 4.7??. Also, the red line is 7K maybe more. With a low rev limiter like that wouldn't you want a lower final drive? I am hoping the gears are long...

its probably to compensate for the PORK (ie weight) the new SI added. total POS, im disappointed in honda for all the new cars, SI, RSX, bout the only thing they did right was the NSX-R.
