Whoops! Looked at the wrong numbers. Everything is still correct except for the max speed/speed per 1000rpm. The correct numbers for the revised gear stack are:
1st:2.45 (62mph @6500) [9.57mph / 1000rpm]
2nd:1.70 (90mph @6500) [13.79mph / 1000rpm]
3rd:1.23 (124mph @6500) [19.06mph / 1000rpm]
4th:0.98 (155mph @6500) [23.92mph / 1000rpm]
5th:0.83 (184mph @6500) [28.24mph / 1000rpm]
6th:0.74 (206mph @6500) [31.68mph / 1000rpm]
Final:3.44 (same as current)
I was looking at the numbers and was thinking "Wow, why would I have geared it to reach 223 if its a track car? Oh wait! I didn't!" LOL! So yeah, it emphasizes usable power and traction and increases top end to more comparable ranges (to other cars in-class).
