That is why i just voted for CVT. Gives such a wide range of ratio's, that you'll always find one perfect for your car, speed and engine rpm.

The only problem would be that you could easily lug the engine if you didn't lower the gear ratio appropriately.
You can do the same thing on a normal manual - 20mph in 5th gear.
