FYI. I have ordered a new ZF 5 speed from RBT with a different combination of gear ratios which I feel give you a nice combination of first gear and top gear. The spread on the stock (traditional) ZF is relatively tightly spaced and forces one to choose a good launch gear and suffer on top speed (and highway cruise), or have a nice top speed and highway cruise and suffer off the line performance. Anyway this is just my opinion and as they say everybody has one /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
You can see a list of my selected gear ratios on my site:

This setup has the same first gear overall ratio and top gear ratio as the Saleen S7 (featured in C&D magazine with a 3.3 second 0-60 mph time), but only has 5 gears instead of 6 (i.e. more spread between each gear).
The main reason for this post is if someone is wanting a new ZF and has a concern like I have expressed above there is an available compromise.
