unless you have a turbo.....



The biggest problem with the turbo is the very tight ratio 6 speed which is made even more tight by the fact that they lowered the redline 500rpm.
1st gear 25mph, 2nd 45, 3rd 65, 4th 85, 5th 105 & 6th 130. i don't mind, but it is a lot of rowing. Skipping gears isn't a problem if you like that sort of thing.
