Haha..so true. I hate being old enough to know better and still making a major purchasing decision based solely on brand preference. I like the overall build on this one and the motor/supercharger platform is shared with the Saturn Redline so it's not such a proprietary design. Final drive ratio is 4.05:1 and the last two of the five gears are actually OD, something like .89 then .71
The rest of the gear spread seems good for the 6500 redline and the 215/45/18s. I figure I can change the intake and get a less restrictive catback system, then change the pulley on the Eaton M62. As soon as the software is released, we'll tweak the ECU. Then I'll leave it alone! It'll be good for 300HP in a 2800lb car when I'm done.
