Roscoe - different strokes etc. My car tops out at 135mph in 4th. Drop it into 5th and the revs come down to 4000, acceleration drops right off. It's frustrating. With the 0.8 5th I would end up with better acceleration right up to the final top speed of 165mph, although it has pulled this with the current gearing. Just took a long time. (seemed like forever).

If you got the ponies, you gotta use them. The only thing I sometimes think about is the air pressure on the windshield at those speeds - and all held in place by 6 tiny little screws!!!
