Unfortunatly, these ratios aren't by choice. (Though there are those
that would love to have them.) The car came with them. I bought it from
a used car dealer that had been racing 'roccos. I recently spoke with
him, & he seemed to be interested in getting this tranny back... So...
As soon as he can find a less tense tranny to swap it with, I'll
actually be able to go on a trip. Right now, I don't get on the
interstates much because the speed limit here is 70.
