Evo8 with 6 gears, 1-5 is short, 6th gear is long ratio for highway cruising and better top speed... as oppose to STi's 6 gears, all 6 also are short. =p WRX's 5th gear is longer than STi's 6th gear.I'm using an evo gearbox, highway cruising 5th gear at 110km/h, the RPM is already at 3500 rpm. A bit too high for my liking. But I'm not a rich man's son can change gearbox like change underwear so just gotta live with it. =)A friend of mine driving a putra evo, with dunno what gearbox... at 110km/h, the RPM still under 3000rpm... =( I wish I had that also... can save more petrol also during highway cruising.</blockquote>
