Renzop your right! the transmission is geared more for the track and the for the 0-60 sprint! (with the first couple gears being longer so you don't have to change as much). I've heard that the 911 uses the same gear ratios (I haven't had the chance to check this out), so what I assumed was that Porsche put in the effort for calculating good gear ratios for the 6 speed with the 3.4/3.6/3.8 liter engines and calculated the 5 speed for the 2.5/2.7, and just said hey, 6 speed on the 3.2? what the hey! keep it the same!

Which is why I wish I had the cash for a 3.6 swap! also why if you put a 3.4/3.6 in your 5 speed you get great acceleration!
