Another S in S,

Yes, we meet again.

Even though you do these long-winded post with extravagant quotes there are never any facts. Common sense means nothing when it is applied with false assumptions. What I try to show you is simple physics. You do know what physics is, right?

What you don't seem to want to understand is that the difference between the Base and S isn't the 6th gear. Re-read that last sentence ten more times. Now go look at your own ratios that you posted.

S' 6th gear = Base's 5th gear.
S' 5th gear = Base's 4th gear.

The problem with the Base is the big gap between 3rd gear and 4th gear. Especially with the Base lacking the S' torque.

You see, the paragraph above is NOT subjective. The physics prove it out. There IS NO DEBATE.

There are no facts in your idols John Brown and CFG's comments that support the Base is better geared than the S.

Riddle me this:
Tell me why a Base car with significantly less torque is better off having taller gears than a car with more torque and shorter gears? Is it so that you can go slower? Bwahaha.
