5th gear someday
The usefulness of 5th gear should be apparent at 120 mph, 18 seconds after you squeal out on your run to your maximum speed of 165 (3.2L 987 S). I don't do this often - or at all so far - but I'll want it when I do.
Sixth gear is great for boring driving at 60: quiet, smooth, easy on the engine, and (dare I say it?) 35 mpg.
Anybody know how long of a straight empty road do you need to get to 165 and then stop?
Can you get to this speed at a raceway like Portland Intl in Oregon?
